Discordant and harmonious all at once. Nice FM sounds too.

Whoa!  How you got all that to work together and still sound amazing is beyond me.  Sweet.

Thanks! The FM quality comes from re-granulating the piano samples (super-stretching them).

And thanks to you as well. Sometimes everything just works (most of the time it doesn't)

I like how you can hear the chordal progression amongst the manipulations.  Particularly near the end.  Very unique interpretation.

Very cool Jim. Nancarrow was someone I was considering quoting in my piece rather than Ashley, but Ashley's material was more accessible for my purposes. I love Nancarrow's work, and I love this too.

Good ear -- I wasn't sure anyone would notice those past all the busy runs.

Thank you, sir. The title IS good, nicht wahr?

I'd really be interested to hear your take on Nancarrow. Please, go for it!

Really interesting stuff here. I hadn't heard of Nancarrow until now. After a bit of research and listening to some of his stuff, I'd say this is an excellent approximate appropriation.

Funny because... well, it's just funny. Love the beginning, how the piano kinda scoots in. Has a very bright, playful aspect to it. Actually reminds me a little of my piece this week which you already commented on... must be something in the water.

Thanks for listening. Nancarrow was one of those composers I used to read about, but never heard much of his music until fairly recently.

Thanks, I appreciate your appreciation!

Definitely has a playful quality to it.  Somehow it's simultaneously disorienting yet easy to follow.  Cool stuff.

Very nice, it has the same combination of intricacy and listenability that I remember from the Nancarrow pieces I have heard before.

Its amazing just how much variety you can get from a piano at times its reminiscent of the bass patches from my DX11. Really Cool stuff!!!
