So it's like a Latin Jazz sort of thing? That's definitely cool man. Yeah, european music is highly metrically for good reason though. The compositions are derived from a symetrical form that creates movement and interest by variation. It's hard to keep that all coherent when the rhythm pulse is so eccentric. Dance (latin) music being more about the rhyhtm, and not so much about variation ables group rhythms to make the music. Middle eastern music is another that is completely different. It is ametric (no rhythmic pulse) and the heart of composition is based on ornamentation. I know a few Jazz musicians have gone down similar paths too. However I imitiate similar ideas by just continuously progressing the rhythm patterns to the harmonic rhythm. A neat idea that leaves you with ever changing time sig's like 15/16, and so on. Sysmetrically at the same time as complex on the rhythm side of things.
