@mupersan82 Actually, the tempo is an rising sawtooth. The abrupt transition this would create is masked by subdividing the rhythm when those transitions occur. Then you try to find ways to mask the transitions out of those, which is easier if you're throwing multiple parts at the listener. You have to teach the audience to expect a certain rhythm so you can carry off the illusion. The goal is to try to make it sound endlessly accelerating.
@gannonsamuel In a DAW such as Acid, or FL studio, or Ableton, you can do gradual tempo shifts. Simply put a bunch of tempo shifts together, while cutting the bpm in half (thirds, fourths, whatever) when it gets too large. Adjust those transitions so your music sounds smooth.
OR you can make a bunch of individual tracks with gradual tempo shifts, and overlay them.
Or you can use this supercollider script. But it is for individual sample-loops. It overlays the sample with its half, double, etc and does a smooth sample-rate shift, while fading out the fastest sample and fading in the slowest sample. But it is not the easiest thing to work with, nor mix or adjust live. [swiki.hfbk-hamburg.de:8888/MusicTechnology/826]
I am making a Max patch for generating, editing, and live-mixing these Risset rhythms for my semester project muahahah
man that is one strange rhythm... never heard something like this. kind of holds you on the edge. not for relaxation though, even though it's not exactly fast.
When I tap to the tempo it slows down and speeps up in a circular fashion.

@stretta Ah, very clever work. How many bpm does the tempo change?

Impressive! I wonder how would a piece using Risset tempo sound like with live performers.

Could you give me information on playing a risset rhythm or programming one...
i understand the basic idea behind it but i'm at a total loss as to how to create one.
Cheers
