These are not working so good for me. They come up a little wonky - blank - until you put your mouse over them. And then, you don't know what your 'playing' until you click the play button. YouTube works flawlessly on the same vids. Thought you needed to know this. It's a test to see if you are worthy of listening.. It was a snazzy plug-in with my website software. I might change it back to simple graphics, thanks Boot.

Wow. I go away for a couple o' days, and come back here, only to be blown away by Mike Hewer's example of melodic development. In spite of whatever I may have accidentally stumbled upon in the course of writing my fugues over the past while, this has open brand new vistas to me. I have been vaguely aware of the devices Mike employed here, but never thought to exploit them as fully as he has done here. I'm very impressed indeed. There are a couple of binders of old abandoned ideas in my study that I haven't touched in years, even decades, because of ignorance of how to proceed after the initial inspiration. Now I feel like I need to revisit these ideas and give them the treatment they deserve!! Thanks a ton, Mike.

You're welcome Teoh, it is one approach to composing. I am thinking of putting together some little pointers on how to generate interesting harmony (consonant and dissonant!)and custom scales from the smallest of sources - it could be a single chord or a motivic cell - which is a neat way of hunting for the resources within and more often than not will guarantee homogeneity.
