Anger of loss
on: February 23, 2011, 02:56:02 PM
Well, here I am with another improvisation. I wouldn't have normally posted this, but seeing as the forum is so active, I can at least hope it will get lost somewhere in the flood of other improvisations and topics.
This was supposed to be a slow, sad piece about loss. The final result doesn't really fit my original idea, but it doesn't matter I suppose.

Well I don't know if you want comments or not, cause you said you were hoping it would get lost... but I thought maybe you think it's not good enough again... hey wait till I post my improvisation then you'll hear what a bad improvisation sounds like!
I was thinking... maybe improvisations can't even be wrong at all! Maybe improvisations are kinda like dreams... you know cause we dream about the things we have in our mind and sometimes we even don't know what all those things are and sometimes dreams can be strange and unusual and we can't always understand them... but they're never wrong... they just are what they are...and that's what's cool about them... and they're always surprising
so maybe improvisations are like looking into someone's dreams and mind and soul!
I liked this improvisation too, although it didn't sound very angry to me,
but it seems to me like it's telling a lot of things! thanks for posting!

Right now I'm drunk on improvs and all improvs sound great to me! YAY for improvs!!
*crawls inside*
Now listen up, sonny, this here was a fine improvisation. Just wait until you hear one of mine and then you'll really know what a bad improvs is ... wait, littletune already said that! (somehow I doubt that, littletune).
No, but actually, I liked this. I liked the harmonies and it reminded me of an imaginary land. Cheers!

I like the rising two note figure that you use above each of the angry chords, it's like pangs of mental anguish or something (in keeping with your title). I enjoyed the contrasting, descending arpeggio section. And right at the end your ascending "pangs" return briefly and it sounds a bit more peaceful. Getting over the loss perhaps?
