Musical scraps are fine. Who knows? Maybe you could combine them to form a complete piece. Fleetwood Mac did that with "The Chain" =0)

I'm still trying to figure out the difference between "scraps" and "submissions."

I like little pieces, like ringtones. I like pieces of different lengths, from Bolero to some of the "wall to wall pachelbel"items to short snippets. Longer pieces require making more time to listen (download, set up so they play in the background while you do something else, etc.)

For me, at least, a "scrap" is a single musical idea -- usually pushed to an extreme. They're almost always short, and they aren't complete (unless I'm exploring cadences, they don't have an ending cadence.)

For example, All modes is a six-bar musical phrase in six different modes, Rising whole tone chord is an experiment in orchestration, and Greensleeves using just intonation was a first experiment in alternate tuning.

They're how I learn (yes, I am a scientist, darn it!). I eagerly ask for comments on the idea -- but I don't know what other peoples' patience is for these experiments.

(laugh) We're both scientists, dear. Same mode of learning. That's why I have 50 different characters on World of Warcraft.
