Sunrise 2-Improv

Well actually I don't really know what I am doing here....it is a feelig and playing out of fathomless depths. My first "Sunrise" can be found here

And this one is definitely completely different.

Well do any of us really know what we're doing?   

Only Bach, perhaps.

I enjoyed this. Nice modal improv, I particularly like the part where it suddenly veered towards Db, that created an interesting effect. And the Scriabin/Jazz at the end; reminded me of the Moody Blues. I assume you were watching the sun come up. I'll listen to the other sunrise soon.

Thank you arensky, yes I admit Scriabin's influence. I feel very much related to his approach, and some of his motifs are occasionally slipping into my improvisations. Btw another composer I am similarly fascinated by is Frank Martin. Moody Blues though I need first to listen to.

Yes your assumption is right I watched the sunset, a very special one actually, and I tried to catch the lucidity and sharpness, while in the older sunrise improv the approach was more soulish, describing the reaction of a person who realises that there IS another sunrise after a desparate and endless seeming night.
