@@veryspicywater which part don’t you understand? It’s not very complicated; the polyrhythm has sections that make up noticeable rhythms and some that sound out of time. He uses filters and effects (which you can see the automation patterns for at the start) to make the off-time parts less noticeable while bringing ur attention to the frequencies where the “on tempo” sounds are. Next time just tell people you don’t understand, no need to be so confidently wrong.

​​​​​@@supersolomob422Kind of agree but the whole point of polyrhythms is multiple rhythms interacting (and that includes non-4 4 type arp material interacting with 4 4), otherwise they're just rhythms.
