Bottle band volume II

Today I overdubbed the 12 parts on the first two movements of 'Kluh' for bottle band.
They are both short and fragmentary, and I am open to suggestions as to how to improve
or develop them (although the final work is intended to be a collection of short
movements). Or, alternately consider: what textures/motifs would you like to hear done
by an acoustic bottle band tuned to your favorite 11-out-of-31 scale? I'm already
picturing a pompous march and a polyrythmially-throbbing monolithic thingy. And by that
I mean I already have some fragments written.

Each part panned slightly differently for your binaral pleasure. Also, I gave the bottles a
quickie retune.

Dear Jacob,

Thank you very much for these movements of 'Kluh,' which I've heard in mp3
format, and the second really fascinates me: a kind of alternative musical
universe, and very "jazzy." I really like it!

Reading your post more carefully, I'd like to try the aif also.

In peace and love,

Margo
