"Aleister Crowley Makes Room in the Bed"

I'll give this one a Satiesque title which cannot possibly influence the listener. I must have done it after those warm-ups but I have a shocking memory of what I play.

I'm having yet another listen to this most attractive improvisation. I really get the impression at times that you are playing a drumset that also happens to be melodic and lyrical!

(that's a public domain sample mp3 of the Edirol R-1's recording capabilities)  See what I mean? Just imagine piano notes and melody overtop that rhythm (i.e. a note for each drum hit etc.) and it would probably sound something like Ted's improv!  :)
