Oh also the piece I thought I plagiarized was one of the tracks of niwi's 'dogs in english porcelain'. I listened to it once and a few weeks later wrote the score for my piece on valentine's day during a plane ride back from LA, and there are a couple similar elements to one of the tracks. guess it's a tribute to niwi that I could hear her piece once and things would emerge from my subconscious weeks later. I suppose if niwi heard it and didn't red flag it, it must not be too blatant then...
I'm glad because I really worked hard on that piece too...
