Well, you are much better at persisting with simplicity than I am. I often resolve to be simple but after the first five minutes the intention usually evaporates and all is let loose. I liked the more asynchronous bits best, such as 14:30 to 15:30 but that is likely my personal dislike of anything metrically regular. As we agreed in a recent thread, rhythm is a deep and infinitely variable property of which metre is a trivial subset.

Thank you. I find that I tend to steer far too much towards my "attractors" as you put it when I let loose, so I'm trying to be simple in an effort to go against that tendency.
