i like writing "small" songs. not short, small. this song feels small to me. hence the ukelele.

This is track 8 of 8 from my RPM project, 222: Improvisations for 6 Instruments. I recorded an 8:38 improvisation on six instruments, and then deconstructed it into 8 separate tracks featuring subsets of those instruments. This is the track that…

This is where the adventure began: the unaccompanied electric piano part I recorded first.

Not an upright bass or, if you prefer, bass viol. This is two instruments: electric bass and bass clarinet. Not electric bass clarinet.

Unaccompanied Bebot. What is Bebot, you ask? It's an iPhone app, and a great one at that!

This is what the music majors do in their spare time. Electric piano, bass clarinet and djembe.

Guitar and bass.

This time around it's the unique combination of bass clarinet and Bebot, the iPhone synthesizer.

That's as in Metheny and Mays, of course. And they I am not. But I still give it a go. These are the first two instrument tracks I recorded in this improv extravaganza: electric piano and electric guitar.
