Hi Jason,

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed it!  Tracery also looks very interesting too. :)

All best!

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd share a new piece I made in Csound, part of a project I call Grammar Music which I'll continue to develop.  This is the project that has prompted my recent questions on this listserv, so thanks for your help in making this happen.

Jason,

Very nice work - you have created a very 'groovy' and 'swinging' AI.  

- keep us posted with more of your 'Traceries' - and hopefully, this results in an APP someday that we can all use and share with our students too!
