So, this is a fun piece of music. It features this cool rhythmic motif that I'd like to talk about a bit. It first explicitly appears at the very start of the piece and again in the chorus, but the accompaniment is constantly playing this motif.

So, basically, I generated this rhythmic motif by converting a number into binary and using the result to give the resulting number some musical meaning. I'm not gonna tell you the exact number just yet, but I will give a few hints. If you listen closely and try to transcribe the rhythm, try and think about how you might be able to convert rhythms into a string of 1s and 0s, which is essentially what binary is. The result should be an odd number. That's all the hints I'll give. Good luck to anyone trying to figure it out.

The resulting rhythm was actually surprisingly more useable than I thought it'd be. Unlike the Morse code rhythm that I worked with last year, which was a bit tricky to use, this one actually had somewhat of a groove to it, which is nice!

Yeah, that's all I'm gonna say about that. Enjoy!
