In response to the funny "Trouble with the Time Signature" thread, I thought I'd post this. This is actual music you can read and play. I did this as a music copying-assignment in college when I was trying to make money as a hand-copier of music (this was before the computer notation software was really good). But it's clear enough to read, and if poly-rhythms and hemiola is your thing, have a go! Enjoy!

Not sure what I was thinking when I said "I'll copy this for my assignment", but the teacher sure liked how it looked. Alot of the music I actually got to hand-copy for a job was much simpler. It's amazing how good you can get with a ruler and a flair marker!
