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.

#4 for the RPM Challenge.
Have you heard this melody before? This is one of those where I wonder if I've unconsciously "borrowed" something from someone. Translation: the Fly Boat, like the tourist boats that ply the river Seine and their bright…
Ditty #10 for RPMC. I really had a hard time trying to come up with the final track, so I fell back on the old loop/delay/ebow improv formula, which I had hoped to avoid on this album. Kind of acoustic Breaking Light. Well it crossed the finish…

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.

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.

This is a serial improvisational piece (excepting some drum loops) in John O’Sullivan’s Blue JI tuning (which I rather like) – all of the instruments, African log drum, Nigerian log drum, Krin slit drum, Teponaxtli, Toere, Kaekeeke, Kalaau…
The music is old but the video i just made,,, on a dive trip to Beqa Island Fiji,, music is a previous version of piano moment #5, of late i have been working on diving and putting existing music to the videos,, hope you like r

Sticky, remember Homer guarding the Sugar, warm climate, plenty of yoghurt, let's not be guilty of indulgence. I have no idea what this means, you decide.
Inspired by a line in one of the many books I read while laid up with a recent back injury.
Song of The Raven Queen

I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home
Featuring Norm on Percussion Track: "Pilón For A New Son"

Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…

I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!!
So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)

This song is the first Solar Fetus song to only use two people. Absolutely no one showed up to Adam and I's room in time to record this, so we ended up doing it by ourselves. The talking, screaming, and random sound you hear faintly in the background…
Thanks Kirk, Jarvis. It's an Epiphone mando I borrowed from a friend. I'm supposed to be laying down some tracks for a song, but have gotten sidetracked, experimenting with it ;)
