I do hear similarities between the two. But I hear similarities among lots of musics â from Steve Reich to "space music" to troubadour songs in similar modes, and do not think it means direct contact or transmission of the sort I think you are asserting. I find the unique musical

I technically posted an example of quodlibet. But what you've done is in fact precisely the same as a mashup, wherein two disparate source pieces are overlaid, often with one source requiring a change of pitch and/or tempo. Mashups don't mean that you've edited the parts, that
