I rather like the idea behind that method. In a composition like particles, you literally spend half the peal chasing mega-tittums. This method gets you there and back within a lead, and without completely losing the coursing music around the row. I'd be interested to see a method like that in a slightly more conventional cyclic composition. RAS
