Hear, hear! (haha, couldn't resist.) I heartily agree - I listened to
it twice in a row as I was reading email this morning; then started it
again before I had to go on to other things. I really love purely
"electronic" sounds, i.e. non-imitative, timbral glory. FWIW, I don't
particularly like electronic music that is harsh sounding - dissonant,
timbrally unpleasant (which is subjective I realize), etc. Subotnik is
a good example - some of his pieces have sections that I like, Silver
Apples of the Moon for instance. But much of his work, though
brilliant and very talented; I just don't enjoy listening to - studying
maybe, but not just listening to. But this piece is right up my alley
- cool, interesting, timbrally rich; but simple and pleasing to listen
to. I realize this isn't necessarily a completed piece of music, but
it sounds like the beginning or foundation of something really good.

Ok, so there's my $0.02. If you ever record a CD, let me know!

p.s. I realize "timbral", and "timbrally" are not real words (at least
according to dictionary.com); but they should be!
