I like odd rhythms. If you can dance to my favourite pieces, the chances are that you have a prime number of walking appendages. Check out all my compositions at https://hansensmythe.github.io/music.html, and read about my new notation practice for beats of unusual length at https://hansensmythe.github.io/oped/placenotation.html. "Engagement" is one of my pieces which uses my new notation; its beat structure is most often five bunches of five sixteenths followed by a bunch of three sixteenth notes.
My latest public performance was as Don Alhambra in Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Gondoliers".
