Rhythm patterns & material #2

Today I was experimenting rhythm patterns.

I was exploring metric divisions.

So, my time signature is 6/8 and I can write, as for example, a group of 4, 2 and 3 demisemiquavers, with an accent on the first of each group (4, 2 and 3) (image 1); or a group of 4, 3 and 2 demisemiquavers, with an accent on the first of each group (4, 3 and 2) (image 2); or have a quaver triplets converting the 6/8 in a 3/4 (image 3); or a group of 4, 3 and 2 semiquavers, with an accent on the first of each group (4, 3 and 2) (image 4); or a group of 4, 2 and 3 semiquavers, with an accent on the of each group (4, 2 and 3) (image 5).

After this, I decided to play a bit more and added the 6/8 quavers bit (image 3) and a quintuplet in quavers, with an accent on the second quaver of each group of five quavers (image 6). The final result is very impressive, also because I wrote a sequence of motifs transposing them in all the tonalities I can following through the circle of fifths (video 1) I have used percussions instruments to have different timbres which I can distinguish them and realise if these mixture of different patterns and accents works.
