INSPIRATION FOR THIS ALBUM:
This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMmw5KZnEOc
Keith Emerson’s recording of Alberto Ginastera’s Dance Creole
Tony Hymas’ recording of Prokofiev’s Suggestion Diabolique
Canon by Béla Fleck & Edgar Meyer
Baroque Fugues & Canons
atonal Contemporary/Modern/Neo Classical, 12-tone & Serialism
Steve Reich’s minimalism & techniques of phase shifting (Piano Phase, Come Out, It’s Gonna Rain)
Moondog’s music
Odd-time & Irrational-time signatures
Jerry Goldsmith’s soundtrack to U.S. Marshals
de Stijl/neoplasticism paintings by Piet Mondrian & Theo van Doesburg

I do not love all of Steve Reich’s music, but I do love his techniques of phase shifting, especially in this composition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNVzDGnkbDI
More info on Phase music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_music

My methods of phase shifting on this album are different from Steve Reich’s: His method uses differences in tempo, mine uses slight differences in length of the “melody” lines.
