You need to be very aware of how the patterns look, feel, and interact. (sorry, this is somewhat hard for me to explain, hopefully you see what I'm getting at... if not, I can try to find some examples)

I've been working on a file for about a month now that uses this technique. I find it to be more elegant and very fun, and if successfully executed shows mastery of music interpretation and analysis. I believe Kil and Kilga(?) have used this technique.
