the only person percieving your experience and its influence on your progression is you. to the rest of the world, a c is still a c. to say "but my chord progression MEANS something different than his" is silly if its the same progression. but. extending the length of non-looping chord progression, which can be infinitely extended, would keep something from being replicated. time is an issue, as it allows more variance. the minute something loops, it ends. playing a 4 measure piece infinitely does not make it an infinitely long piece. will anyone ever write an infinitely long piece? no. anyone wanna argue that? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
