After spending the last 7 years or so working on approaches to improvisation in my various ensembles, this improv workshop was a really great opportunity to be on the other side of the studio window. Frustrating in some ways not to be able to directly go for what I was after in a musical way, but to try and verbally direct and get what I needed from the situation felt unusual! I know what it feels like when someone is trying to get you to do something that you don't really grasp, particularly when the clock is ticking away....a very cool project and was really happy with the result. Ended up getting one main 6 minute piece which was very close to my initial intentions, I also had some fun developing a more synth pop thing over one of the grooves....just for fun really, but I do like it! I thought it was kind of cool to record the free improv sections at the end of the session and then for the recording place that at the front- the players are all then in the zone of the sound world and they can't help but to continue on in that vein. Place that at the front of the tune it really feels like that leads properly into the song.... This 3rd musical example is the midi mockup of the tune that I did a little while ago....
