Re: [sc-users] 30 small pieces - one synthdef

[Dan Stowell <danstowell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi F,

Some nice stuff, thanks, and yes I agree that self-imposed
restrictions can be good for your own development. It's interesting to
follow your month through and try to second-guess how you were
thinking about it.

I've found the sctweet challenge quite refreshing since it makes me do
things very differently, seek out musical results in a very different
way. Not clear how sustainable it is, or how much it can be connected
back into my other practice, but it's produced some surprisingly nice
pieces already (by various people).
