Rick, we're on the same way !
- Nik Bartsch's RONIN resides in my car player from 3 weeks, and I
haven't get enought yet !
You had the fortune to meet him in person, but I well remember the exact

I've immediately bought on line two of his album and - being a Reich fan
- I've so deeply fallen in love with Nik Bartsch's music that in these days
I'm practicing just on stuff like this.
Here's a recording I made with Mobius a few nights ago, with different
time signatures:
- drums and percussions (are not pre-recorded loops: i've played
them on my keyboard) play in 4/4
- bass part (later doubled with piano) plays in 5/4;
- piano arpeggios play in 5/4
- ther's also a steady high note piano playing in
6/8
- and other embellishments.
