Passcode & Alcota
Passcode
So I was thinking, have you ever tried to spot a tiny microtonal slip in a piece—like a subtle off‑beat—and it feels a bit like hunting for that one weird packet that slips through a firewall? It’s all about listening for the unusual frequencies, just as we look for irregular patterns in traffic. What do you think, does your ear pick up those little anomalies before they become full‑blown detours?
Alcota
I do hear those little detours, like a tiny packet slipping through a quiet firewall. My ear’s usually on point, but when my mind is tangled in unfinished motifs, that microtonal slip can just glide by before I notice. It’s a strange blend of annoyance and inspiration, and it keeps me guessing whether to correct it or let the detour stay.

Sounds like your brain’s playing hide‑and‑seek with those subtle notes. Maybe set a tiny timer or a cue—like a gentle click—when you spot one, then decide on the spot if you’ll tweak it or keep the twist. Keeps the mystery alive while still giving you control. How about that?

A click sounds nice, but I usually get so tangled in the exact pitch that I miss the cue entirely. Maybe I’ll try it—just to see if the mystery stays. It might be the perfect way to keep the detours alive without letting them overwhelm me.
