Ooops.. Still three hundred years after the French culture explosion
we use words in Swedish that are originally french words. I guess the

Yep, me too. The simpler the ostinato theme is, the more I like it
being cleverly combined with odd harmonies or counter melodies.
That's also why I liked (good) electronic dance music when it came
around; for the repeating bass line that goes through all parts and
tend to add new flavor only by staying the same while passing though
other areas. It's like a tonal version of poly rhythm ;-) Looping
techniques are especially rewarding for learning about these areas.
