...another work in nanotempered JI (441-eq), in a neo-Bartokian
'Mikrokosmos' pedagogical style, using 7-limit intervals, including
12/7 and 14/9.

Enjoy, comments welcome. PDF Score may come later...

I think I like this better than Ozan did. You definitely nailed
the Mikrokosmesque ending.

I liked it. It's a cute little thing. But I wonder if you plan to
keep on with this rather mechanical style of play?

Also, the ogg version wouldn't play for me.

Ozan's comment prompted me to check it out, and
i like it.

BTW, i downloaded the .ogg and had no problems with it.

I could answer his better if you could be more specific as to what you
mean...do you mean the sketch/study like aspect?

This may be related, but I have to say--it's interesting...writing
'simple' music 'for children' is *very* difficult. There's a certain
pretense about having a 'lack of pretense', if you will. To make it
sound natural is a state of grace. If I do it badly it is only because
it is hard. I will do it as long as I can improve, I guess, I won't
neccessarily share everything, but I do relish the chance to grow from
intelligent critique!

Hmm...what's going on?..in the past, I noticed my 'oggenc' program set
permissions wrong, and made the *nix permissions wrong...only the
owner could 'read' (play) the file, and I've had to reset them...but I
have, and Monz and others have said the ogg worked!

Anyone else have this problem?

Best,
A.

P.S. thanks for litstening, everyone. And commenting.
