Ode to Kate
on: June 16, 2024, 11:07:54 PM
My improvs are improv...ing. This was just a bit of a random noodle. I'm clearly trying to make harmonic meaning and get entirely off track. My improvising is "free" in the sense that I'm not starting with a theme, but I use it as an opportunity to learn harmonic relationships rather than just letting my right brain out of its cage. The name was because I gradually honed in on a few chords that reminded me of a certain pianist by that name (although it also reminds me of Fields of Gold). Pretty awful sound quality, sorry.
