Interesting stuff! In the world of equipment for making this kind of music, there’s a device called Mutable Instruments Grids [1] whose maker did this same sort of analysis just for drum patterns. She designed a “topographic drum sequencer” with 3 knobs that smoothly transforms across the “eigenbeats” of a training set of electronic music rhythms.

Mutable Instruments modules are some of my absolute favorite! All of her modules are fully open-source as well: https://github.com/pichenettes/eurorack
