I found this tone row I wrote, in an audio file in garage band. I play it 4 ways, inverted, backwards, etc... Then I improvise over it a bit, then play it again. Garage band transcribes the notes automatically, but with weird note values, since I am not following any pulse. The row of 12 notes sounds jazzy, because I can favor certain intervals, like diminished triads. It is almost impossible to deliberately construct a row that sounds musical but doesn't sound like something suggestive of tonality. The tonality is still there, because every interval is still itself, any three notes in a row sound like some part of some possible chord.
