Blues with off timing. I've spoken about it before and here it is again - my funny way of messing with the timing. I tend to delay things like the harmonic rhythm, along with some over-the-bar-line phrasing. This causes an effect that the time-conscientious listener perceives as beats being added as the delays mount.

But it all ends up in the right place, as here for example, the twelve bar blues form is not compromised. I wish I could be perfectly consistent with this as I can loose the time while pushing the envelope further, but it's worth it to me as the rhythmic excitement is irresistible. Like everything else - a work in progress.
