@Danny: sorry I didn't chime in earlier, but I like what you've done.
I'm glad *you* mentioned the video game soundtrack meme, because just
a few weeks ago I played in the orchestra for "Video Games Live", and
this definitely reminded me of some of the material there. I've always
thought that would be a great arena to do stealth microtonalism. Yeah,
it's a lot of work to get orchestral samples right, and you could
probably tweak it more if it was to be a finished piece, but it gave
the flavor.

@Kraig: what can I say? As is virtually always the case, you seem to
zero in to the core of whatever tools and materials you are using.
Very sobering stuff, KG. Don't go there all the time - I still like
the sunlight in your music!

Cheers,
Jon

Thanks Jon!
BTW are you related to the piano player who was one of the first to play Debussy's piano music, how many Szanto might there be?
