Thanks for the mention. As you've no doubt listened to the disc by now, you'll understand it when i say that this music should do terrible things for my reputation as a serious early music performer, heh. Almost all of it is based on mathematical structures related to activities in the book, and some of those pieces are algorithmic, which means that they'd be very easy to adapt for accordion, I should think. You should definitely add it to your repertoire! Greetings oh great accordion one – long time no geek out together regarding obscure scripting language details over beverages.
