Re: looping over the Internet - one day hopefully !

Mry Bro',RR sent me this as recorded at one point on the globe with 
everyone
starting at once to a midi click on a prearranged tune; Well, look at it 
from a
subjective listeners point of "view".  If everyone started playing at 
12:00pm
GMT you would have(loop
by loop) :
A1
B1
C1
      then
             A1B1C1+A2
             A1B1C1+B2
             A1B1C1+C2
                                  then
                                        A2B2C2+A3
                                        A2B2C2+B3
                                        A2B2C2+C3
                                                              and so on....
