Do you have more of this music to share? Perhaps in a format other than embedded flash video? MP3 maybe?

flv2mp3.com will take in youtube videos and spit out mp3s. It seems to be frequently down though (it's working now).

I actually have the music originally in MP3, but I don't know of good MP3 upload or streaming sites, so I just went with YouTube. Anyone have a recommendation for where I should host it?

http://www.playlist.io is a good one with no signup or hassle http://www.soundcloud.com has more robust audio-specific features

I don't actually have any more recordings of music I wrote in this manner. I do have a recording of a string quartet I wrote in a more Baroque/classical style. I didn't use such a high degree of brute force for this style of composition, though. Rather, I logically combined motifs or scale/arpeggio patterns based on my empirical knowledge of Baroque and classical music.
