I wanted to do a melodic idea and move it around randomly while moving the chordal content randomly on its own against it.

This turned out like I had imagined for the most part. You can hear me deciding what to do as I go! So really, a lot of the phrasing and the rubato movement is dictated by the time it takes to think and get to the next thing. Sometimes it's easier than others to let the hands go where they want - where the randomness doesn't get in the way of letting things just flow out steadily.

I like the sound of this. I've basically spoken about this before - the melodic over the dissonant. I'm still just starting to understand it as it seems I can literally play anything and it doesn't sound bad! I want to understand it better. There are different degrees of harmony and disharmony to get my ear around. All part of "the more you know, the more there is to learn" syndrome.
