Improvisation, October 8th, 2007. Also October 4th, Part 1 (improvised piece)

on: October 09, 2007, 02:52:48 AM

The 8th is a bit wild. It has a weird contrapuntal chromatic thing in the middle...almost fugue like.

The 4th is more of an improvised composition. Not quite as wild as the 8th. More tonal. Enjoy!

I am listening to oct. 8th right now. Of course there would be a lot of positive things to say

, it's very interesting and I like the chromatic lines. The second part that starts at 2:56 is a really deep and impressive reflection, to me.
6:26 I think I like this part most, but of course, the piece is a whole and parts can't be separated after all. Somehow this conception of three parts is convincing, to me. I like the distinct moment of silence after the first part and the breath before 6:26.

Sort of an open ending. The story goes on, always and there is so much to say and to play

Thank you for sharing

I'll listen to Oct 4th later.
