Subject: Philip Glass's Birthday

From: "spaceanimals" <jim.alciere@...>

As Philip Glass just turned 76 a couple days ago, I thought it would be appropriate to create some instant Philip Glass music on the AN1X.

Take a nice wide augmented chord (use the 4th mode of the harmonic minor scale for some interesting harmonies) have the arppegiator on something simple, maybe just one octave, 100 bpm, set the tempo delay to som odd rhythm like 3/16, get your favorite string patch (or use a buzzy osc sync patch) and voilla--instant Philip Glass.

Now at cocktail parties you can look very serious and tell people how you're involved in electronic post classical explorations.

Take care.
