Doctor and Master (Digital Single)

While doing research for the EP of which this track is a part, (read: watching Doctor Who episodes...well, and reading up on the history of the series), I ran across the mention Doctor's nemesis, the Master. I wasn't aware that the Doctor had a nemesis, although it's obvious he has enemies too numerous to count. It was after watching the last three episodes of Series 3 (the David Tennant Series 3), Utopia, The Drums of War, and The Last of the Time Lords that I realized this "rivalry" between the last two Time Lords would make for a very interesting musical exploration. If you remember in The Drums of War, there is a rhythmic figure which plays a central role in the trilogy. A homeless man taps it out on his tin cup; the Master taps it out on the desk after he gasses the cabinet members. When the Doctor and Master talk on the phone, the Master describes the drumming that is constantly in his head (and that has driven him crazy). And, the Master uses this rhythm in the Archangel Network
