Think y'all just got different names for the same concepts.
Bit like Abrahamic religions.

I miss my slightly eccentric English dandy days. Was fine in London or Bristol, but doesn't really translate to rural France. Mostly dress like a tramp these days.
I live for shorts, t-shirt and flip-flop days.

What is it that you would need for additive rhythm that you are missing ? Never really heard those terms before.
It's just a matter of changing the time signature in the sequencer, right?
If you want a piece with a grouping of (3+3+2+2), for example, you change the time signature to 10/8.
(2+2+3) = 7/8
(3+3+3+3+2) = 14/8

"South Asia's electronic and experimental music spheres have been rightfully carving out a piece of the global spotlight for itself, and The Jazz Diaries, amongst other labels, are certainly making it known that there’s a plethora of music being offered by the Subcontinent.
The Jazz Diaries ‘Chalo’ is a multi-artist album packed with 28 tunes curated into a unique and diverse playlist, that touches on jazz, lo-fi, hip hop, eclectic, percussive house and some tasty bites of genre-defying fusion.
Armed with diverse music along with a celebration of culture and creativity, the compilation’s net proceeds will support the Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) and Zindagi Trust — the label’s mission and coverage through this album unites artists from India, Pakistan and Kashmir. The HRLN spans a web of social movements, activists, NGOS and key legal representatives across 24 out of India’s 29 states. The second cause being supported through this album is Zindagi Trust, an NGO that strives, through lobbying, to better the quality of education for children in Pakistan."

@cyanobacteria Cool, so when you going to fly over to join the fight in the resistance? Or are you just gonna wage war on civilisations from the comfort of your studio flat in imperialist, fascist USA?
Bad news for you bro, you ARE imperialist, fascist USA. You're not a revolutionary of any sort whatsoever. You've no idea the realities of living in a conflict zone.
This is a revolutionary fighter:

Sorry @auxien, what I clearly meant to say is all non white people in foreign countries are poor and live in mud huts, are a simple, monolithic people who hit bongo drums and primitive instruments and ponder capitalist, imperialist oppressive USA all day long.

Let it also be said that a plethora of musicians from countries where their classical or folk music uses non Western tuning, DO happily create music using Western tuning and western genre styles.
For example, I know that the psych/prog/mathrock scene is banging in Pakistan right now.
This is not an argument for any "side". Just a piece of information worth adding to add to the conversation.

(I realize cumbia may not be the best example, given its origins in actual colonization). If this POV makes me a racist colonialist, I guess I'm a racist colonialist.
Cultures have never existed in a vacuum and they don't arrise out of nowhere. All cultures are an evolution and constant blending of influences, whether through migration, invasion, colonisation, cross-cultural unity. If beauty can be created through the exchange of ideas and practices, bring it on.
There's no such thing as an ethnically or culturally homogeneous land anywhere on earth. There's no such thing as cultural purity.
I celebrate the evolution and unity of cultural ideas, practices and arts.
Creatives everywhere love to push the limits of their tools in order to express themselves. Evolution of music tech that adapts to these new practices is always happening.
I often write music which uses samples, instruments or ideas from cultures that are (not my own, ie they don't match my ethnic heritage). You can call me a cultural appropriator or whatever. But it's my passion.
Track of mine from 2006, made on Reason.

This Chieko piece is lovely!
I've got a lot of time for Ryuichi Sakamoto of course!
But I thought I'd share stuff that might be less well known.

So have you lived in the Arab Gulf states? I’d like to hear your experience and knowledge about that.
I've not lived in an Arab country, but I visited Dubai in 1992 and Doha in 2018. I've got friends who live/have lived and worked in UAE, Qatar and Kuwait.
I don't need to give a personal story about migrant exploitation. It's widely evidenced and a widely known issue. A quick google will bring up 1000s of reports about the matter.
