"A Cold Way to Go" -- Improv
on: November 19, 2007, 10:10:18 PM
Okay.  Here is a new improv from within the hour.  I put my edirol on a pillow and I think this has caused a bit of a muffling.  Also, there is a surprise (not from me) at the end, but I think it's still fitting to the character of the piece  :P.

Thanks for listening !

ah very nice improvisation ! it kind of matches the sad, depressive mood Im in right now, in this period of my life. Very nice! Recently, ive discovered improvising for myself. And i think its really great fun. But Im not very good at it =(

Just a short scetchy comment for now :) your music resonates with me, anyway, like no other music in the world. So it's also with this one. Yes there is a sort of sadness in it, but it sounds to me like it's the "sadness" of an angel and nothing "personal" or "selfish". It's divine sadness which contains also comfort.

The dog is pretty well in tune, as far as I can hear ;D

My best thoughts and wishes to you :)

I agree with Wolfi. It is sad, but I think the dominating feeling is hope. I think the sadness comes from the notes you've chosen, but the hope comes from how you play them.
I really liked it.

On a side, I definitely think you could sell this one to Hollywood. I'm picturing (post major emotional event) a guy sat behind the wheel of his stationary car, staring into space, as it gently snows outside. :D

m1469, I sometimes wonder whether you actually exist in flesh and blood. I can only picture you as a gaseous cloud or something. (This is meant in the best possible way).
Very nice improv btw!
