King Crimson "Discipline" sort of stuff. Record a phrase in 7/4, then
overdub a phrase in 4/4 or 3/4, so you get a continual shifting effect.
Like someone just mentioned, I guess the best solution for now is to
record each phrase until they converge. In the 7/4 and 4/4 case, I guess
that would be 28 beats, if I'm picturing this correctly.
