I can't help but hum and beatbox my way through imaginary music, or even along with what I'm listening to, so this would probably work OK for me. When I wrote ATT, I'd spent all morning humming the bass and beatboxing the beat, but I never thought of trying to translate from that into the music in such a pure way. I actually sat there doing it in slow motion and trying to work out what I was actually doing. Which all seems strange, because I can work up a complex beat with my mouth, but have trouble knowing exactly what it's made of. Oh, and I'm being immodest calling what I do betaboxing - it's more like rhythmical salivation, but the rhythm's there. > BTW, nice to see all the music and collaboration efforts going.
