At one of the colleges I teach at, I'm the director of the guitar ensemble amongst other things. I've moved their direction from performance based to composition and recording yet still rehearsing as a group.  This is an attempt at me demonstrating a compositional idea where each picked two random notes from a selected scale; from the row six notes, they were to move through at their own pace.  When recording though, the player can't hear the previously recorded parts, creating a pseudo canon piece.

This was recorded quickly just using my laptop mic with some room noise etc so I decided to create a mix to emulate an old cassette recording.  I also slowed the tempo to half the speed and shifted one part down the octave for a bass part, then added tape delays/noise etc.
