I have been reviewing the perpetual or infinite canon technique. It is described here if anyone is interested:

The truth is that there are not many examples in the repertoire. I'm interested in trying to incorporate the technique in other types of compositions.
I have written quite a few, looking for ways to take advantage of the material.
So, for example, in this canon I have added additional voices.
In the first pass (10 bars) the canonic voice at the lower octave starts two bars later. In a second pass, the first two measures of the lower voice are added, which are the same as the last two measures of the upper voice.
This can be repeated in a loop indefinitely. But what I did on a third pass, is to add an upper voice throughout the canon, and a bass voice in the last measures.

The compressed score is this. 
In the attached pdf I have “unfolded” it.

Omitir en primer pase = Omit in the first run

Voz superior solo en tercer pase = Upper voice only in the third run

Voz inferior solo en tercer pase = Lower voice only in the third run
