My First Piece

As you probably already know from that helpful little automaton with the
surprizingly good grammar, I have just uploaded my first piece of microtonal
music, "Chromatic Prelude in 5." It's not very long (just 8 bars of 4/4),
and it's very simple, with only two voices and the only intervals being
5-limit consonances (in a microtonal analog of the first species of
counterpoint), but it modulates a little and has some interesting chromatic
melodies. I hope you all can derive some pleasure from listening.

Let me know what you think,
Keenan P.

Umm. I thought this was actually pretty interesting to listen to...
I like the way it "weaves around" with the microtonal sonorities. It
still keeps maybe a bit more in a "classic" framework than your later
work will..

HOWEVER, given the fact that I, myself, was starting by writing in
the style of Mozart at age 13 (way back in 1963!), you've got a
genius "jump start..."

Are you sure you aren't really 14??
