Live performances have a flow that provides an unfolding context so  
there is no way to predict my liking or disliking.
:-)
But your file is an edit that decouples the music from context, in a  
sense.
In that regard, percussion motifs could be layered in on a separate  
track as an afterthought.

I was not necessarily thinking, in this case, of percussion as pulse  
or defined rhythmic structure but rather as texture. It could be  
completely odd-metered and still provide linkage patterns. Instead of  
"spontaneously" you could use canned sound bytes that are pedal  
triggered and randomly sequenced or some such.

Makes me wonder, if Krispen made a recording of the same event with  
your stream would the 2 captures sound the same in terms of buffer  
lag times etc.?

Have you explored strategies of cueing? Not composition per se but  
mapping options for structuring extended improv?
