Thanks for sharing, Aaron.
It's an interesting take on serialism, and the series has some quite
clear features that makes it easy to follow. Personally, I think it
might have been better with less (strict) repetitions, as the series
itself has these features that won't let you get lost. The rhythmic
phrasing is a little bit stiff in my opinion, maybe this could be
developed more (or avoided more, the middle route is a bit
inconclusive, to me).  All best, and looking forward tro hear more.
