[CM] SchemeMosaic update

[David O'Toole]

More fun results! I upgraded the snippet matching procedure to use a
weighted combination of spectral centroid distance, spectral peaks
distance, and tempo distance. The results are becoming much more coherent.
I have the beginnings of an emacs-based interactive looper UI as well, so
basically this could become an improvisational rhythm composer. Here are
the sounds: http://xelf.me/resource-55.mp3
