Salt19 final
Salt19 uncompressed
I'm really proud of this because I had to flex muscles that don't normally see much action for lack of a better metaphore. I've been slowly learning more about improvisation theory and song writing techniques but up until recently the gap between study and practice seemed insurmountable... especially when you consider that I'm trying to get software to conform to these techniques rather than playing it myself. In my opinion this is my first truly succesful adventure into this unknown territory.
Thanks Rick, for encouraging me in this direction.
There are some details in this mix that don't really come across in an mp3 so I've provided the uncompressed file as well.
Thanks everybody for your input.

Salt19 original
Like I said it's raw; little processing, no editing and kinda boring out of context... it's also over 16 minutes long. I guess the primary reason I'm posting it in this state (I do plan on editing and "completing" it) is becasue I'm pretty blown away by how natuaral it sounds as is. More than anything I think I just need to trim the fat on this.
The process of getting Numerology set up to do this was pretty difficult. I decided to use the 2.0 beta16 ( ) as it seems to run stably on my system now. It's not really random as much as a complex series of patterns interacting with each other, resulting in a peice that doesn't ever repeat.
Let me know what you think!
