    You should've messed with the chord progression instead of the solo. Then you could've sent the bad chord progression to Paul Davids to make a good solo over it.

    Geez man, your videos are over the top awesome. How much time do you put into a video like this?? I mean, the "occasional" animations everywhere just for fun alone must take a long time, don't they??? Also amazing solo that Aimee Nolte did there. It's awesome to see all you guys go back and forth and just seemingly effortlessly play around with the music like that. Incredible. Cheers from Germany :)

    Any opinions about this particular musical result aside, I appreciate seeing some of my favorite YT music educator-type folks working on a serial evolutionary composition. Hmm, maybe I should try using the neglected kompoz account I created years ago. I'll politely opine that the heavy manipulation of Amy's piano part wasn't my favorite step in this particular serial composition despite my fondness for previous musical hops along the chain but the distinctive Ben Levin video editing and FX was what I liked most here.
