I feel his 'six marimbas' is a more mature concept over his phase shifting technique. I've always wanted to create a permanent flow of sound in which the same unchanging elements bring out a variety of previously unheard melodies.

It's always been that I've wanted to implement these minimalist ideas into my own style. But I barely have the kind of time to think creatively anymore =/

In your case I can totally imagine this creation as an underpinning movement of sound before either drums or vocals kick in.
