Respect someone? Don't show it...

http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/14389478.htm - Google is forced to takedown Joan Miro tribute logo.

I personally thought it was awesome, and I wonder how many people who didn't know of Miro decided to click on the logo to know more about what Google was up to...

Inspired by...

So...I decided to create a piece of music. That piece of music can be found here.

This piece of music came about after listening to some of the old Amiga and PC mods (multi-channel PCM music) that drew me into the whole computer music sphere. I have fond memories of seeing those MOD trackers (editors) and the sequence data for the first time; after years of seeing notes as dots with vertical lines on pages filled with horizantal lines, MODs and their methods were a breath of fresh air...

The piece drew particularly from one piece. That piece is among the three that I present to you here:

I'm pretty interested in seeing where you think the inspiration came from.

Note: I didn't write this to challenge you as music listeners. Really. It just sort of came out that way.
Note 2: I'm really awful at naming music...
