Miezo Meditations (vol. 1)

TL Talk

The SBL 'Bassmas Bedlam' concept:
"We are going to collect submissions for song parameters (e.g. BPM, time sig, key, etc) from you and at the end of the competition (midnight PST Dec. 7) we will use a spinning wheel to randomly pick one of each parameter from the entries and [Student Mentor Benjamin Walker] will go and create out a short piece of music using the winning features, as best he can."

Each one of these pieces was crafted using elements from a list of 'ingredients' that were provided by SBL members. 
The final 'recipes' are my own, of course. 
i will probably leave the ultimate random 'spinning wheel selection' version in Ben's capable hands... but you never know, LOL.
NB: When i had to choose between accurate BPM and duration, i decided to let things run a little longer rather than truncating the music to fit the time frame.
