portraits -- carl and gene

Hi folks,

Maybe this will turn into a nice motivational project for me--I'm giving
myself the task of depicting in brief (~20 seconds or so) micro-music some
of the colorful personalities on the list. Consider them dedications of a
sort. It's kind of fun--take a little musical material, massage it, make a
tiny statement out of a sketch.

So, I started last night with Carl Lumma, and this morning with Gene Ward
Smith.

Carl gets a lowdown 4-on-the-floor 16-edo anti-diatonic disco motive
complete with a portamento/legato lead saw synth, while Gene gets an 11-edo
(1 2 1 2 2 1 2) neo-Subtillior 2-part counterpoint ditty.
