Dyscalculia from Echolocation by Mendoza Hoff Revels

I have struggled with dealing with numbers throughout my life. In retrospect, it seems like I have attempted to work my way out of (or around?) this challenge by making up musical 'numbers' games, or exercises, for myself.

The main theme of this song is one of those exercises, involving 12-tone counter lines for bass and melody (or right and left hand) in 15 beat cycles. The contrasting aggressive and more grooving sections reflect the initial frustrations of trying to keep the numbers from dancing in my head, and then learning to just let go and let them dance.
