Improv December 17, 2005 - Doodle plus modified Christmas tunes
on: December 18, 2005, 11:02:01 AM
This improv started out with some doodling.  I wanted to take the opening themes and develop them, but then I sort of stumbled upon quoting a Christmas carol.  I took it from there and it became a mix of several christmas tunes.  There are even some themes from Messiaen's Vingt Regards.  I play around with the melodies a bit, sometimes changing their mode: Eg: "Joy to the world" in phrygian.  Listen carefully inside the texture and you may find even more tunes. 

Well this is the first time I tried adding some reverb into the mix.  Adobe Audition preset - Medium Hall Crisp.
