Whoa dude. The things you wrote... Thank you so much! That meant a lot to me! =D Yeah, I wrote this in 1 hour so I kinda just got around putting notes in and stuff, I have a lot to think about if I end up developing this piece...

The minimalism comment: yeah I do know that this piece is not the usual minimalism music. I'm just saying that my style is normally minimalism (check out my Pie Jesu or Motions, they are more traditional in a sense). So in a way I was kinda wondering, what happens when I use the idea of repetitions in minimalism and combine it with changing notes instead of harmony. I mean technically this piece's harmony is like all over the place up until the end when the basses play the true bass lines.

I love John Adams! Especially his Shaker Loops. Loops and verses is my favourite part from it. For Reich, I love electric counterpoint!

Anyway, I have to look into making this piece make more sense if I decide to. Thanks a lot again for your comments! =D
