2'22" improv

I could say a few things about the style of this improv but would rather hear how you would describe it..
It helps to turn the volume up, to hear all the detail of the dense harmonies



(recorded a year ago, before I was on this forrum, and just discovered this improv audition area..)

Now I could get a lot of people to disagree with me on this regard, but I'm almost immediately struck with reminiscence of Ligeti and some Xenakis. Either way, I love the colors you bring out in the dissonance.
Play piano. It is groovy!
Bach-Busoni > Bach-Brahms ;)

I think you're correct to describe it as continuing impressionist ideas.  Something Mompou might appreciate, as mentioned.  I wander what Satie would think.  Danesi mentioned Ligeti but I don't see the connection.  And definitely not with Xenakis, though I haven't heard that much of him, but what I've heard is harsh sounding.
