<Xaser> at least one of the tracks was "don't know who glass is OR what 'ostinati' means" followed by a quick dictionary lookup on the latter and going "fuckit, let's do that"

GUESS WHICH

actually not you. The themes, although noticeably different throughout, had the same feel to 'em and it was obvious you were taking a less restrictive approach to the ostinato

Ah, thanks, I suppose! Listening to a couple of Youtube vids of the proper composer, it's clear I didn't reach Glassness at all, but I did shoot for trying that "ostinato*" thingamajig out. Good to hear I didn't miss that mark entirely in that regard.

I guess my motto is "If one cannot follow the rules, make some new ones up and stick to that." Or something.
