As for introducing this combination: if there was a chance to show him the "beautiful" side of synthesizers there are so many other pieces better suited to that task, it's not even worth counting them. :) Thanks! Beauty as a term of personal opinion, I'm currently working on it, getting out something for summer. :) Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c You are my summer breeze, my winter sun, my springtime soul, my autumn touch of gold (Britney Spears)

Nice piece, but in my case the reaction was the opposite: I loved the beginning and when the drop came it didn't work for me. I wanted the intro to evolve. I would say that Philip Glass as a representative of minimal music is pretty outdated. I say this cautiously, since one doesn't need to necessarily draw an evolutionary narrative here. But these days we have way more ways to evolve a texture like that, whereas he had to rely on orchestral means only. And so a minimal loop like the one you mention as your inspiration or even your own intro could be evolved into a really fascinating piece, by mostly focusing on the DSP aspect of it. There could also be certain sub-melodic elements, like phase shifting, changing scales or otherwise manipulating the midi/audio information that doesn't involve changing the relationship between the notes themselves. It's always very difficult to suggest something, especially when you're trying to present a whole new world through just several examples, but I decided to pick two releases by Steve Roach that demonstrate how a sequence might work with no drops whatsoever. 1. Steve Roach - Proof Positive <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMqjoVhOTkw> 2. Steve Roach - Into the Majestic <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0ewYiOtwyw> I would be curious if you find these interesting. But for me these pieces don't require patience or going into trance or anything like that. They offer a lot of variation. It's just not melodic variation.
