How to notate complex metric modulations... er, uh, tempo equations

On episode 5 of "hey man how do you do that?," Brian shows you exactly how to add some elasticity to your stale beats with tempo equations. We look to Elliott Carter, who was preoccupied with elongating, abbreviating, abstracting, and generally f*cking time in his music.

FYI, the underscoring consists of two of my electronic tracks ("Memphis" and "I am a worm and no man"), both of which utilize metric modulations, and neither of which is available commercially. [You can download them on my Patreon page tho.]
