This piece was composed and recorded with Mixcraft Pro Studio 6 and mixed down with Mixcraft 7. All sounds are those of sampled, "virtual", instruments. This piece was created by composing short sections of music of different tempos and time signatures, directly abutted to each other, mixed and matched with no particular organization other than the desire to make the transitions as abrupt as possible. Ken Clinger has likened this piece to a View Master or a slide show, with the individual segments changing unexpectedly. Many segments reoccur, altered or unaltered, as the piece progresses. Generally tonal, but with many atonal elements, again with the emphasis on unexpected changes and shifts of perspective.

Good stuff, Tom. Although it changes about a lot, it's still a very coherent piece. Has a kind of chamber orchestra feel, and a little 'early music' too.

I love it. There is a certain Zappa quality induced by the abrupt changes but these are balanced and given continuity by the repeating melodic passages. Nice pacing and room to breathe which elevated this into excellence.
