"Secret Message" -- Improv
on: May 25, 2007, 10:59:30 PM
Well, there are some outside noises in this as we currently have three, yes THREE, biggish dogs in our little house.   So, I decided to think of these various sounds as "elements" of the overall musical affect -- I am kinda 'into' that kind of music anyway.

I like this improv. I like how it sort of built up at 1:50 with a more insistent kind of theme. 2:50 is cool too, I like how it kind of went into a more tonal framework there. good work.  3:28 caught my ear too.

Hmmm secret message? 8) *rubs hands* Okay let's decipher ;D Your theme in the beginning is d-e-a. that could be the name of one of the three biggish doggies ;D. Or in do-re-mi? Rea? Remila? hmmm... *thinks*

Okay joking apart, it is of course a message, a very beautiful one, I like your cantabile and legato very much! And these intervals that are successively enlarging into chords remind me of your "what I really mean" improv. You seem to listen intensely and then get very tenderly and tentatively into this very subtle region where music begins to open itself to your inner ear.

 I find the doggies cute. I hope they did not damage your furniture while you were playing :P

Nice to listen to another one from you!
