As far as I know David Garibaldi first coined the term "permutation"
meaning : take a rhythmic pattern e.g. 1-e-&-e , just play the red
lettering ( Daa-doodat) and first time round start the pattern on 1,
repeat until comfortable, then play it on e.g. on the "e "of 1, "&" of 1
and in this manner let the pattern shift through the measure until
you're back to 1 again.
Better yet, get his book "Future Sounds" and and play it!
