This is sort of a demo I did with Bloom, a regenerative music app designed by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers. As I was playing it I stepped through all 12 "moods" for a minute each.

Pileus (remix)
Another one recorded "live on the fly", so the sound quality isn't great. Also some tonal support from SonicMood program.

1919/1219092 (live)
Opened for Hentai Improvising Orchestra at 1919 Hemphill in Fort Worth. A 26 minute piece, I had to edit it down to this because of some nasty noise spikes on the louder bits. So whats left is a very sleepy piece.
