A modern folk-dance improvisation from April

[Derek]

Should have posted this one in the "two improvisations from April" post, oh well!  Enjoy

Wow this is very original! Funny and cheering Interesting rhythmic patterns. Very cool

[quantum]

Very energetic.  I liked the the different rhythmic twists that were thrown in.  I also heard some motifs that you used in past improvs, but you got them to fit in well with this one too.

Thanks for the feedback! You have an amazing memory...I didn't know I reused something (though I'm sure I do all the time). Oh well, I'm accustomed to music that uses familiar elements, I grew up hearing my father improvise boogie woogie every evening for all of my childhood. *edit* I bet you meant that middle part before the dark stuff. Yeah...I do stuff like that a lot

Almost pure, laid-back postmistress cells without the neurosis and polytonality. She's having a good day. No bothersome customers. (private joke here for Derek)

I'm always a sucker for augmenteds, as at 2:00. Perhaps I had better pass on to other cell types; I think you've overtaken me on this one. Very good indeed.

  thanks again Ted. Do you like augmenTED chords because of their name?
