Hannah,
I appreciate your comments and find them interesting but you really need to listen to my work in full. Many of the points you are making are based on edited clips, or an incomplete review of the samples I have presented on my website: http://dotminus.net/
I don't contest your view that my work may have something in it that relates to your main idea. But your reasoning, unfortunately, is flawed by not actually addressing the work, but instead your highly modified version of my work.
