#3Really lovely idea and brilliant execution.
For people who don't get the reference, one of the defining pieces of the Minimalist movement in 20th century music[1] was "In C" by Terry Riley[2]. Minimalist pieces often (but don't always) include elements of non-determinsm like in this.
[1] Minimalism here doesn't mean "not many notes" it means deliberately restricting the range of harmonic and rhythmic materials available to the composer. Steve Reich, Philip Glass, John Adams, and Arvo Part represent well-known composers with very different takes on the style if you want to check out more.

#8I remember showing this to a roommate's mom over a decade ago. She wondered aloud if it was like The Emperor's New Clothes or if we simply didn't understand music well enough to know why we shouldn't enjoy this.
I still like it, whatever it says about me.

Great atmosphere. Makes me think of a good video game soundtrack. Interestingly they don't sound good if you only play 2 of them, you need all 3 to pull the harmony together.
