Steve Reich made a lot of music based on the phasing in and out of imperfect time sources in the 1970s. If you're interested, check out "Music for 18 Musicians", "It's Gonna Rain", "Come out to show them", and if memory serves "Pulses" (might have that title wrong) which is literally just a bunch of mechanical metronomes which go in and out of phase as they wind down.

- BeFlatXIII 5y agoYou were thinking of Gygöry Ligeti's "Poème symphonique"[0] in your last example there. Steve Reich did write "Pendulum Music"[1] where microphones are swung from cables over loudspeakers and the feedback goes in and out of phase as the microphones return to stillness.

- seanhunter 5y agoAah yes you're right on both of those of course. It was like 25years ago I studied 20th century music. So weird to think that...
