i can understand this, Will. The piece was conceived as accompaniment for a young gymnast's floor exercise routine, so it feeds off the high energy and quick shifts from elegant dancing to athletic tumbling runs. i realize there's always Nadia's Theme, and that can come later. This was my first piece written with Linux, and i just wanted to get my hands dirty with the making. Once i'm more in control of the technology in particular and recording techniques in general, let's hope for a little maturity. Now if i can just find the right bouncing teen.... Thanks for listening, Will, and thanks for the kind words. bill
