    John Cage is usually too "out there" for me, but this has an odd charm to it. I like the bell qualities on some of the notes and the repetition is actually somewhat soothing.

      Ah, but ain't it more fun to just randomly try stuff and hear what you get? Half of "The Wild Bull" by Subotnick was experiments that he liked and saved. Looks like he got the thread about 2/3rds into it. My own prepared piano was fun times--random and recorded. My quarter tone synth stuff is fun too, random and recorded -- after all, even music we know is different each time because WE are different listeners than we were yesterday.

And thats how Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano was made.
