Signature Rhythm Creation
Many Hachijo islanders have a signature rhythm, where one from a far away could tell who is soloing from hearing rhythms
Consider repetition:
-Play the rhythm both before and after the speed-up
-Play the rhythm consecutively and build (similar to AABA BBBB structure)
-Play modified rhythms (A and A' rhythms that sounds similar)
