[urizaf]

hi guys, this is our recorded improv. please comment below!

wow that's some pretty atonal stuff but I do like the way you shared the themes and rhythmic elements.   that was, no doubt, pretty free improv and good for you for posting it.   I would really like to hear what a more structured improv like 12-bar blues would sound like.  You both were quite comfortable playing.  I like it

Very enjoyable.  There was clear fluidity between the both of you passing around thematic ideas, and developing them. 

Please post more

You guys are clearly enjoying yourselves and mesh well. Surely you're both talented classical pianists. Thank you for posting it.

That being said, it sounds like what happens when I sit at the piano and let my 3-year old niece play with me. Some banging, some chords; occasionally stumble onto something that works, but the ideas are fleeting.

What I think you should really do with this, is extract the best themes from these improvisations you post, and flesh them out further in a written composition. There's some good stuff here -- don't let it go to waste.

This is spot on advice - to Any composer grappling with such material..
Thanks for voicing this, Tenk.
