A Musement - the real post

This is the first time in a while that I've written something in swing rhythm specifically, but it seemed to call for it. It turned out to be a combo of contemporary/classical/jazz — I don't think there's a good label for it. I did use sacred geometry in this piece, which I'm doing all the time now, and seems to be working our pretty well. I'm open to any feedback or thoughts you have.

I like those devices like geometry or maths as part of the form of a piece. I think here it works pretty well.

You and Schoenberg would have gotten along; the use of 12's here with your process piece is evident.
However, while the upper interval structures seem to remain intact, the horizontal interval structures seem to be more diatonic which takes away from the otherwise interesting soundworld you've created.

Hi Monarcheon, thanks so much for your brief analysis. I really want to know how people perceive my music. I'm not really using 12's or even thinking horizontally or vertically in the traditional sense, but I know there's going to be overlap between my method and other methods. Schoenberg was not my favorite composer, but I can understand how you would hear his approach in this piece.
