I really like Smith-Brindle's "Musical Composition" a lot, too. His "Serial Composition" has a lot of useful stuff in it that can be applied to non-serial music. I'm a big fan of Russo's "Composing Music" because of the restrictions. Sometimes I find having a limited n...

Hammered dulcimer). But I've already done the demo with what I found in the World card for the JV 180. Let's see if the client buys it and then I'll see what I do next. Cool.
