Quite beautiful, the piece!
Something like the most traditional just intonation, isn't it? I
would be interested to hear what it sounds like in 12edo...

Very nice! I like a man who's not afraid of ostinato. You didn't bore
me for one minute--the lines were nice and sinuous. Beautiful
seductive melody.

I'm curious what your setup is...what do enter notes with, etc.
My one complaint would perhaps be I miss the human expressive
live-player element, and the piano part is particularly
mono-chromatic, but your music is good enough to overcome this---
i.e. I can imagine it being great to hear by live players. Hats off!

BTW, I found as I was listening to this that I heard a certain tinge
of Philip Glass (the *better* Glass, i.e.--I find him uneven),
particularly in his movie scores...and believe it or not, a sort of
vague Spanish flavor, which is a very good thing, IMO---I can picture
Spanish gypsy fiddlers doing this one--I'm also dying to hear what
this would sound like with an almost flamenco-like festive percussion
part.

I'd be willing to give that a whirl if you'd lend me the MIDI file (if
you didn't want to do it yourself)

All best,
Aaron.

Nice work, I like it. Also listened to some of the other good work on that
page. Keep on doing it!
