My second attempt at writing a piece for solo piano. Quite obviously the inspiration were Philip Glass Steve Reich and Terry Riley.
I hope you like it.

Ha! I couldn't believe it when I heard this. I've got to tell you that I have played this very pattern on my congas many times - it is the quintessential consonant (i.e. congruent, enharmonic) 1.5:1 polymeter – aka 4 vs.6. The higher pitched piano notes playing 6 beats/bar and the lower (basically) 4 beats/bar. "The 4 pushes the 6 like a gorilla pushing a swing". It is easy to get lost in patterns like this because it can be listened to from the vantage point of either the 4 or 6. One of my favorite examples of this effect is "Carol of the Bells". Nice work.
