Howdy, 'tangmo'...

I dig musical 'experiments', 'cause I regard the experimenters as questing souls who are not only trying to expand the boundaries of their theoretical musical knowledge, but also are following a path that their spirit is leading them on. As I've said on the Users' forum before, "music is more than sounds".

But as sounds go, your piece reminds me of the modal approach that the late film music composer, Fred Myrow, applied to his score for the 1972 sci-fi film, Soylent Green. His music for that movie has the same 'shape-shifting' feel that On Third Thought has: chordally restless, always seeking a higher musical ground, finding consonance in dissonance, and more.

I think On Third Thought is a novel, quietly other-wordly musical journey that also evokes some finely-felt emotions of the sublime kind. It could've gone on forever, as far as I'm concerned.

P.S. The 'jammy' thing -- you did not desire it to be such??? I think it provides a rhythmic base that sort of grounds and connects the modal flights of musical fancy you unleashed in your composition.
