	Experimental? Ambient? Minimalist? You decide. This piece contains elements from all of these styles. There is a constant melody (actually, one melody that's used three times) that also maintains the beat. The percussion however, goes on its own merry way, providing an idiosyncratic, pseudo-autonomous counter to the melody's constant (in a way itself becoming the 'feature' or melody).
	Story Behind the Song The melodies in Canonic Vibes originated as an improvisation over a small Talking Heads sample. The Heads sample vanished, and I discovered that I could loop my improvisation against itself (a couple of bars apart) and it would work nicely. The percussion bit came as a way to try and escape merely putting a fitting beat to an already rhythm-rich piece. Does it work? Let me know what you think…
