Re: [MMM] Re: Improvisation in David Canright's 13 limittwelve tone.

Jon!
It finally came to me what it stood for but this was more informative. I'm
in mac world but been working with my marion pro synth hooked up to a USB
keyboard but even that is in a different room and not connected to my
computer. i use my rooms in some departmentalization. A big acoustic room with
nothing but instruments, a porch like space with marion and speakers, a back
porch with puter. I room from room to room like moving from brain
semihemishperes to others.

Actually, that's pretty funny, Kraig...

Frankly, my *own* setup is a little like that, although I don't have
so much space in New York.

One side of the room has an *acoustic* piano and guitar, and the
other side has the computer and attached synth.

I *used* to do *all* my composing over on the *acoustic* side but now
times are changing, and I seem to be composing more on the "electric"
side...

And, of course, the neighbors don't complain that way with
headphones! :)
