102.75Level 46 — determine your transformation distance
Before recomposing choose:
Distance 1
same tune, new voicings.
Distance 2
new bass/groove.
Distance 3
new harmony/formal texture.
Distance 4
melodic paraphrase/mode.
Distance 5
composition derived from original DNA.
This prevents accidental over-transformation.
