This is the wildest piece to make it on a beat tape of mine yet. It's in the time signature 10/4. The verse section is subdivided into two phrases of 7/8 followed by one 3/4, which comes out to 10/4. The intro/transition parts are also 10/4, which equals 8 phrases in 5/16, every phrase moves a half step in tonality. Odd timing isn't usually the first thing that comes to mind when thinking beat tape, but i don't think it's that out of place.

Elaquent’s music recalls Oddisee’s instrumental work and Flying Lotus’ Cali-infused electronica. On “Worst Case Scenario,” the composer emotes a pastoral essence. Bandcamp Album of the Day Dec 16, 2016
Twinkling, glitched-out ambience punctuated by bubbling beats: think Stereolab's foundation if they were less European and more Californian. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 6, 2016
