riding home with you in that cab last night

we're exhausted and my mind is playing games

silently we sit in the shifting light

and i watch you

	Interesting, shifting beat. as well as a voyage through chromatics. Fits your description perfectly. Check out my latest song called The Black Cat

	. the same little melody is transformed into 4 modes or scales: ionian, pentatonic, hungarian gypsy minor, whole-tone, and finally back to ionian... afterwards, it made me think of how a person can look so different under different circumstances, thus the title and description thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	. each scale has an associated drum loop. but the instruments bridge across each scale change to help tie it together. thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	. that erhu is a pain to sequence! i started from the piano track and modified it to sound OK on the erhu. a balky beast, but i like the sound. thank you Check out my latest song called RUOK

	. i had fleetingly considered trying to put some words to this somehow, spoken or sung, i wasn't sure. i think it's better without my voice ruining it. instead, i put the thoughts into the title and description thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	Like a (Pleasantly) haunting dream LOL. Great variety of sounds, like ever changing sands.... the same, but not the same..... and that makes it different. Very entertaining, regards M Check out my latest song called Shine Your Light

	bill i can see the late night cab ride. it's as if i can smell the smoke from the drivers cigarettes he smoked earlier (even though he won't let me smoke in the cab). love how you move and twist that melody into so many shapes. Check out my latest song called yes you told me (that you're cynical)

it is a great experiment
such a genius idea. to take a melody and stretch it across different modes. it is a perfect melody and rhythm for such experimentation. the choice of instruments adds much class. you are very skillful at putting such ideas into practice. it is a stimulating idea. it is well produced. it excites ideas for me to try. thank you. 0x0
