Skrillex’s words about computer music at the 7:30 mark are inspiring.

Hey all,
Some of you heard my project in the morning section. For those of you who have not heard it, here is a link to the piece on Soundcloud. After the morning section, I felt inspired, so I made a couple of minor edits. The piece is intended to be a blend of several different styles, including EDM, jazz, rock, and other genres that I don’t have training in, all through the lens of the Cold War. Please feel free to leave a comment below! I welcome all criticism.
