colby Leider piece

Definitely a gorgeous piece. I'm not sure the JI-ness of the materials
was audible up-front, (in the sense of the buzz), but who cares.

There was definitely a lot of beating going on; I'm not sure if that was
timbral (i.e. a "chorusing" effect of some sort) or a resultant of the
harmonic structure, (since it's present at the beginning, the former seems
likely. . .)

This is another Colby Leider fave of mine:

hmm ... your comments are interesting, Christopher,
because i heard more "periodicity buzz" than beating.

but mostly, what i found really beautiful was the
way new primes are introduced by fading in: the new
prime-factor sounds very dissonant against the surrounding
harmony as that note fades in, but by the time that note
reaches full volume, the other notes around it have
changed to other pitches, so that the new prime fits
into the new chord as a harmonic.

there's an example of this around 1:30 that's simply
breathtaking.

yep -- you know i checked that one out too, being the huge
Mahler fan that i am!! :)

(for those who don't get it ... "vcs" stands for the
full title: _veni creator spiritus_, which is the same
hymn that Mahler used for the text of Part 1 of his
stupendous 8th Symphony "The Symphony of a Thousand".)

***Um, this was quite good. It produced the same sensation I get
while eating lamb vindaloo...

First, the natives are restless (are they from Anaphoria??) then they
start changing something that sounds like: "we're wannabes, we're
wannabes, we're wannabes..."

Surely, something in this...
