The title doesn't have much to do with this improvisation or why I made it (I made it for the abstract interest in the sounds), but I later thought the beginning part sounded like our cat Tasuki alone in the living room. Haha. The style is a bit out of character for me. But I hope you'll enjoy it!

(I made it for the abstract interest in the sounds)

I wonder how it's possible to keep ones interest in sound abstract. But perhaps my conception of "abstract" is too negative Tongue

Yes I do enjoy! It's good to explore different styles Smiley This is a very original piece, it has a bit of a humoristic touch, somehow it reminds me a bit of some of Prokofiev's "Visions fugitives". Very interesting and cheering piece! Smiley

I think I meant to say interest in abstract sound. I've never responded to music that had a programme (because of the programme. I usually enjoy the music by itself). I've tried to come up with my own in some cases, and tried to use ones supplied with various pieces, and in the end, it just ends up being the same pure fascination with sound. It's kind of funny, my dad is the same way but he only plays boogie woogie.
