"Quiet, Time" an improvisation
Hi everyone.
It feels like a long time since I posted some new content. The University of Virginia, where I'm on the adjunct music faculty, asked me to record something meditative for their virtual Chamber Music Series. Usually when I improvise I use effects to set a kind of evolving aural color pallet, but in this case I opted to just play clean, with a little reverb, for the whole piece. The instrument in question is a chechen Grand Stick with the Stickup in Classic w/high bass 4th tuning.

I could listen to this musical genre for hours and hours. It comes from within and it's very meditative. Simplicity in the processing of sound. It's the equivalent of McCoy Tyner on the piano but this is on the Stick.

Interesting to observe the evolution throughout that piece. Nicely done, as usual!!

Re: "Quiet, Time" an improvisation
Thank you all for taking the time to tune in and for all your kind comments... IF you want to dig for clams, they are in there, but these things happen in live performance.
The more I do these kinds of improvisations the more I value my musical memory, which is pretty good. To make an improvisation feel more composed, you need to carry what you have already played forward, selectively introducing evolving recapitulations as you follow new vectors...
