IMPROVISATION #1
on: January 15, 2009, 11:06:07 PM
This is my first post and first uploaded improvisation of many more to come. I will eventually upload recordings of classical repertoire as well. Enjoyyyyyyyyyyy


This was actually the first of three improvisations i did in one sitting (the other two are posted as IMPROVISATION #2 and IMPROVISATION #3). They are pseudo portraits of my Dad, Mom, and sister Rebekah.. just because they came to mind first O__o. This particular one: Dad.

Comment, critique, respond, i appreciate allll that.  ;D

I really enjoyed your playing, but I almost stopped listening a few times because of the irritating commotion by the mic.  I hope you remedy that.

Haha thanks for your input. yeah it's actually a handheld recorder with a built in mic and i usually have it in my pocket which causes the loud russling sounds. definitely gonna look for a better place for it.

Ha! At first I thought it was an improvisation in the form of Musique-Contrete ;D

But once the piano appeared I understood and enjoyed it. At one time I had numerous improvisations on reel-2-reel, and cassette. Now I have just 4 left on one cassette and I need to learn how transfer them to digital form. :'(
