A good friend and percussionist Norm Harris contributed percussion to this track – A Cast of Billions - so I ripped out all of the midi percussion and used Norm’s percussion, added a track where I speak Evan’s poem and did some remastering. Here is the result – best version yet IMHO. The track is in 17 equal<br>
<br>A Cast of Billions, poetry by Evan K. Harrington, Percussion by Norm Harris, Music in 17 equal by Chris Vaisvil<br><br>I made a conscious effort to try to sound different from 12 equal and compose music that was quite microtonal. In memory of Evan Harrington.<br>
