## 60-Minute Plan
1. `0:00-0:10` Send one steady clock into two divider modules and monitor several outputs at once.
2. `0:10-0:25` Use divided clocks to drive kick, snare, and hats. Keep the drum voices from yesterday.
3. `0:25-0:40` Introduce rotation, phase shift, or logic so one layer lands just ahead of or behind the others.
4. `0:40-0:55` Compare three variants: straight division, rotated division, and logic-derived triggers.
5. `0:55-1:00` Keep the best variant and note which divider produced the most musical surprise.

## Questions
- Which divided stream sounds intentional rather than arbitrary?
- What happens to groove when only one layer is rotated?
- Which clocks feel like structure and which feel like ornament?
- Did logic make the pattern better or just more complicated?
- How much asymmetry can you add before the groove loses physical pull?
