Is that true of phase music? The tempo of each part changes cyclicly and
smoothly over time, you /could/ reipresent it as 543875436/10000000000 or
something but that's just silly.
reich started, afaik, with tapes running out of sync. but
it's a tempo thing with him, not meter -- his music is very
much tied to integral meters.
