So it turns out that if you take my natural zoom-in mindset and interest in detail and impose it on a step sequencer, I become a drum’n'bass guy. Here’s another sketch for the Rake’s Progress.

Elliot! I really like it. It’s stimulating but relaxing. But I think I’ve told you years ago that I like things with foreground background, fast and slow at the same time. I like how the beats can be run in different ways and the strings come in and out possibly randomly but on time with your subtle expectations. Any piano Ravel in this one? x
I just had a thought. Have you considered using any Kurtág quartets as source material? As you well know, in Kurtág’s music the phrases and gestures are so concentrated and they might work well in this kind of treatment. (I am thinking about Op.1 in particular) Nice job!!
Great idea. I love the Kurtag string music, the Mikroluden especially. How’s the thesis coming?
Have you heard the music of Vincent Bergeron? Some at http://www.archive.org/details/wh056 – I haven’t listened much yet. It’s collage music, curiously soft around the edges.
