Oh,  I love this one,  speaking of odd time signatures.

This is particularly apropos because if you play a 16th note palindromic 
rhythm in an odd time signature
and play a constant 8th note rhythm against it  (like playing two bars 
of 7/16 against one bar
of contant 8th notes in 7/8)  then the first repetition of the rhythm's 
on and off beat
relationship will exactly reverse in the second bar):  whatever had been 
an 'on-beat' is now and 'off-beat'
and vice versa.

7/16 ||:  X * X * X * X | X * X * X * X  :||

now written in one bar of 7/8   =

7/8  ||:  X * X * X * X X * X * X * X  :||

now adding a constant 8th note 'framing rhythm' =


7/8  ||: X * X * X * X X * X * X * X:||
