Bowman's recent post of a one-minute song from early days "We welcome Him" reminded me that I too wrote a song in my first music recording class (in the basement of the UCSB music building). There was a mix board, multitrack tape recorder, a Moog, an Electrocomp and lots of patch cords. I came up with a 3-chord progression and played it and overlaid 6 improvised parts using synths. I was a novice at everything and could barely play notes, so I recorded with the tape at 1/2 speed to give me more time. Made the notes all sound like a cheap electric organ. Mixed down to an analog cassette!
Many years later I dug up that cassette and transcribed into a modern score-based DAW leaving out a lot of stray notes from the original, and used a big organ patch just to hear what would result.
Also, almost one minute long, it was short and sweet --> "piccolo e dolce." (Much shorter than this description. :) Posted for nostalgia's sake.

Ha, all the work composers used to do back in the day. I recall Wendy Carlos talking about splicing together sections of music - literally. We are spoiled these days. Despite all the effort, this sounds effortless.
What a surprise. I get to hear a short and sweet echo from your past and find that my little baroque like ditty reminded you of it. Fun to hear.
Cheers.
