513: Versus Lukasz Langa
June 25, 2009
At long last, my shamefully delayed response to Lukasz Langa. With the new baby and the end of year commitments, things just got a bit out of hand. (Among the other reasons I had to get a lot of rest, there was swine flu at my school!)
And now I hear there is too much distortion in this recording! Ah well, I want to keep to the rules. I worked mostly off of one of Lukasz’ harmonic schemes. Something about his post inspired me to improvise something more through-composed and less symmetric than my usual business, and I’m glad for that.
I will now be on hiatus as I travel to Geneva for a couple of weeks to the Institut Jaques-Dalcroze, but as I will be taking lessons and seminars in improvisation, I may have a few live clips to blog from there. Blogging likely resumes after my return July 5.

498-501

And so we arrive at a major milestone. 500 pieces, each one improvised.
I hope you have enjoyed the blog so far. I’m pleased at how it’s stayed tightly focused on only music, serving my purposes as well as, hopefully, yours. And though I took a crack at making a couple of comments about reaching 500, I erased them. I want to continue to let the music speak for itself.
Plus I have to say, this isn’t my best set – ten or twenty back is better.

One more week
May 17, 2009
Sorry folks, I’ve hit one of those periodic bouts of overwork/exhaustion I sometimes get. So I’m going to keep the blog on ice for another week. Should be back after the holiday weekend. Thanks for listening.
