Really interesting, Thorsten. It would be a bit daunting to try to put

some music to, because the piece as a whole has a very irregular meter.

Within each snippet of audio in the piece there is often a metered

rhythm, but the meter often changes abruptly between brief sections of

the audio.
However, it does seem that some atmospheric or ambient type of

unmetered, freeform sound might work, or sound that may have a metrical

or rhythmic base of its own, distinct but somehow compatible with the

rhythms that already exist in the piece. But it does seem like any music

added to that piece would have to "float above or alongside" it, like a

river or cloud's relationship to a landscape, rather than being

integrated and enmeshed into the existing audio in any kind of detailed

way.
I'm going to think about it for a while. I'm not sure I can do justice

to such a project, but I may try. Thanks for responding to my post about

collaboration.
