It's the 3rd minute...

Well, this one is more of a dorky experiment than real music. Just playing around with overlapping time signatures etc., it doesn't sound all that nice but it's structured like this:

Piano = 1 note per measure
Viola = 2 notes per measure
Harp(muted) = 3 notes per measure
Cello = 4 notes per measure
Contrabass = 5 notes per measure
French Horn = 6 notes per measure
Triangle = 7 notes per measure
Glockenspiel = 8 notes per measure
Cymbals = 9 notes per measure

Would almost certainly sound better if I only used multiples of 2 and 3, but I think the 5 and 7 note-per-measure samples make it sound a lot more complex (or messy, depending on how you view it). And it was all played by ear, no quantizing, so it's not as clean-cut on the whole as it could be potentially. Screw perfection though, it's just an experiment.
