The first section introduces a motif that can be found woven throughout the piece, then builds into what can be described as an “opening statement.” The next section is much more groovy, with a buzz pattern felt in 5 that gets your head “bobbing.” Also in this section are what are known as irrational time signatures (time signatures with denominators that are not duple based). A used these to change up the motif a bit, adding and deleting small chunks of rhythms to make it more intense and “stuttery.” After reintroducing the motif, the solo heads into a longer final section that showcases harder and faster rhythms, leading to a final statement of the original motif to cap it all off.
