    I enjoyed that. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’d be dead chuffed if I were you. Like others I was carried along by the shifting patterns but an interesting thing occurred for me: at about 2 minutes in (sorry, I don’t remember the exact time) The Wife distracted me and I had to pause the piece for about five seconds. When I resumed playback the patterns had completely changed. I rewound the video to about 20 seconds before the point where I’d originally paused, but all I could hear were the new patterns - the ‘old’ piece had vanished and now lives only in my (quickly fading) memory of it. I look forward to hearing your further experiments and will try to take part if time allows. I really appreciate what you’re doing, thank you.

    It's like an organic crystallizer. Interesting moments that essentially could be sampled and used as a basis for a section with a fixed bpm. I can only imagine the dread of balancing all those files. Happy to be a part of it. 😊 And congratulations to whomever wins. 🎉🥳

    If i'm correct, they're all playing the same melody? I think without the variations in rhythm and the different times instruments were introduced it may have sounded really odd in my perspective. You made interesting with the way you introduced the instruments and the variations with the sine waves (don't know if i'm correct) you used. Interesting. Awesome!
