I took Marc's instructions for [disquiet0540] the other way around to explore a different avenue possible with this combination of numbers: Instead of 5/4, I went for a 4/5 feel (so based on five quintuplets rather than four sixteenth notes to the beat. Or you could look at it as a VERY fast 5/4).

This was inspired by Miles Okazaki's excellent book "Fundamentals of Guitar". The chapter about rhythm explores these and far more complex polypulses: https://www.milesokazaki.com/fundamentals-of-guitar
Also, I tried for something along the lines of Strobes from London: https://strobesband.bandcamp.com

So I ended up with a rather unsteady-feeling groove and the tricky task of playing a couple of guitar breaks in quintuplets.
But I spent far more time on the beat, obviously, which was too much fun.

See what you think! Thanks for listening.

This composition was inspired by this wonderful haiku:

the bracing east wind
cold as a nordic summer;
kicking up white sand
