So, you can think about interference, and maybe you can even hear some
of its effects when you add a wave or two together in a DAW. However,
there's nothing better to teach you about its *emotive* and *intuitive*
qualities than just hearing it out, via a proper neoclassical
composition in its funky rhythm. The beating of a living rhythm, as
opposed to just a sterile soundwave. The slow one you could almost dance
to — except in here, some dark motherfucker in hir dearth decided not to
quite make the the rhythm coincide.

Mind the penal sound which you'd obviously think is the constant
metronome. Yet it's not. Even early into the composition the
percussionist is forced to take half a beat of, and go off-beat. Then,
at some measures further, take it back.
Further into the work, that 180 binary phase modulation will go further
in many ways. There are trioles and and maybe even quintoles flying
around, free drumming. But the most insidious thing is that at one
point, a leading quarter pause is introduced, making the whole of the
work desynchronize a bit. So now half of the orchestra is playing
off-beat just-so. Except that those nominal half-pauses are then
reintroduced, so that the total number of beats actually revolves around
in interference, for a *truly* long time of multiple seconds.
Once you hear it, it's mindblowing. Especially that an orchestra can
actually do that. Even The BBC Symphony Orchestra, as a whole.

Even if clearly off-topic, I believe this kind of listening to manifest,
shocking acoustical phenomena might help people on-list hone their ears
better.
Also, make your kids list to this one. Teach the. Because when they
finally hear the beating, as opposed to a regular short beat additional
or divisional polyrhythm, they'll go "ah!", and then off to do something
much more useful. Seriously, this shit is pedagogic/didactic, even if
it's only about "art".
