Kataway,
The Exploration in Cm is a really nice improv piece, and I appreciate you sharing it at this stage. Hearing and mentally visualizing what you are doing, your musical thought processes are revealed by the music flowing, developing and progressing into the different sections.
Your extensive musical vocabulary really comes forth- I like the restraint from going directly into a blues, with a b5 emphasis, where a lot of players tend to go over changes like this, and not bringing that in until after a couple of passes, to the use of shapes which alter the underlying chord harmony. I also detected a harmonic minor scale nestled in there too for some spice! The two handed chords with interplay, both independent and interdependent at the end, is nice and a great Stick technique for large sounding chords.
IMHO at 2:13 some great ideas come forth and could easily be developed into another piece. Many great artists work like this in a free form setting ( don't worry about the time, I didn't hear any clams, gaffs, or anything that you need to put a disclaimer out there) - my take, to misqote Styx "thank you very much, Mr. RUBATO! you're playing solo- you can do what you want!
Wow -Soundcloud kept playing and Slamenttoultan came on- This is really pretty, and perfect for a Sunday morning song! piano and Stick with some synth textures and pads. Well composed and performed.
thanks for the post, & you are on the right track,
Excellent travail!
