Claude, I just sang, and it came out this way. I'd love to play it for you, but I'm not sure I have enough space in my personal web space at the moment. Is there a place I could upload it to? -Or can I e-mail it to you privatelY? As far as getting turned on to palindromic polyrhythms and simple palindromic rhythms, I first played with them quite unexpectedly, since I realized I needed a 9 count when recording in reverse to get a chord to match up with the beginning of a forward track. That way, I'd have a four count forward, and a four count backward, and could get them both dead-on. <smile> I thought it was way cool! lol! Anyway, I then was introduced to polyrhythms, some of which being palindromic, through Music Craft and Guitar Craft. This vocal loop just happened though. I was really surprized not to be able to tell the direction. anyway, if you'd like to hear it, -just lemme' know what you'd like me to do, K?
