The theme for Improv Friday this week is "variations". So here's an improv reconstruction of the one classical piece I know, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.
A friend of mine once called this kind of jam session "noodling", as in "straight from your noodle (pointing to his head) to the guitar". This is a primo "noodling" session.

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

Ditty #9 for the RPMC album "Bones".
I'd had this rolling around in my head for about a year now, and even played it live with the SD&Q trio. Didn't quite turn out as planned, which is not unusual.

really not much synth, all experiments with effects over guitars and then stretched or feedback recording problems that turned into dial tone like drone sounds. Awesome either way you brought it, dude!
Formed sheet metal front edging from old shelves that were in my apartment unit. Played by bowing with the Jim-bow and recorded on a Zoom H6. The motorcycle appearance at the crescendo was entirely coincidental. The title was inspired by the old…

3 strats, bass, vocal
There was a place for me
I knew that it was free
Inside your heart

This piece is somewhat programmatic, somewhat expressive. I wanted to tell a story of moving from a dark place of drudgery and powerlessness to finding courage, strength, purpose, and joy.

Lots of loud noise going on with the refurbishment of the condo I live in, so thought I would haul out the horn and honk along. Been away for a couple of weeks working on a 50th anniversary restaging of David Tudor's Rainforest IV in Kingston…
