"Necessities" -- Improv

[Mayla]

Okay, it's actually a bit intense.  I was fooling around and experimenting when I finally hit on this as something I needed to "say" ... and then I needed to post it ... hee hee.

[Mayla]

View my post and listen, darnit !! 


*hee hee*

Thanks for posting in, Mayla

You're most welcome, Mayla.  YOU are the MOST welcome  .

This reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it. And I don't think it is a musical something. It reminds me of something apocalyptic. Like a volcano is about to erupt or something like that. I like your free use of harmony as always. I really love the extremely pronounced low note that you alternated with chords at the beginning, it reminded me a bit of Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto right near the beginning. 

Tell me how you come up with cool names for your improv

[Mayla]

Hi Derek, thanks for listening and for posting in .  Yes, somebody else has also said that this sounds apocalyptic.  Sometime I would like the volcano to actually erupt and put that in music  .

Hmmmm... well, this name was hard for me.  It ends up just being something that is the essence of what the music is about I guess.

To me it feels like compression. A compression before an eruption? For sure the volcano will erupt. And here it is concentrating its full energy.

I felt a sense of grandness, large open space.  With perhaps something boiling up beneath the surface. 

I have attached a musical response.

[Mayla]

Oh, my and oh, boy .  That's all I say for now  .

[pianowolfi]

Really cool stuff, Quantum you try to make the volcano erupt

Okaaaaaaayyy Here I come up with two responses. The first one represents more my resonating with Mayla's "necessities" and the second one is  more like an attempt to deal with the boiling forces beyond the surface. Well....I don't feel like I am in the best shape....I mean...sometimes I feel actually like being at an end with my improvs. What can I say anymore after "Styx-A long Journey" and all that came along with it (which is still not all edited yet) Sometimes I think perhaps I have said (almost) all I can. ...

   The use of sonority... just  .  I love that you are using nuances of resonance to mold your ideas.   It's as if you paint a backdrop of crisp blue sky with eruptions, and pyroclastic clouds in the forefront.   Mayla, this is uber.

hee hee ... thanks, Quantum.  Well, I am listening again, it's kind of funny actually, and I am slightly embarrassed.  But, I figure I had to get something like this out at some point.  Now I would like to shape it all a bit more.  Why not ?  I have some more ideas on what to do next, but I feel like I kind of had to just break through some wall or so. 

Anyway, thanks for the inspiration .
