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.

Last demo for Magic Mike today ... LOL
This is actually a song written by Mike, and I have offered a bit of a twist to it.
Looking for some criticism
LG all guitars and vox

All first take improvisations. 8 tracks of madness for your enjoyment. Ear goggles will put you inside this piece. Not recommended for the faint of heart!
Recorded between 9AM - 7PM on the 26th of February.
Featuring Mark Hubbard & Duma, on didj & percussion respectively, this one begins as the most traditionally structured piece on the album. But don't get used to it, it doesn't last long... just enough to ease you into the formlessness…
Naively conceived, written and published in February 2012 for "Contemporary Chamber Music" (vol.1), an RPM12 album.
The titles of the pieces in album are follow each other in a certain order - see album description.
TWO POUNDS - (Diethylstilbestrol Daughters)
"DES, which was once prescribed to prevent miscarriages, caused obesity, rare vaginal tumors, infertility, and testicular growths among those exposed in utero." http://www.motherjones.com/environment…
my rpm #5,, it will eventually become a part om my themed cd "the dark doll house" a somewhat sad place where memories of childhoods past echo through empty rooms,, the two other pieces thus far in this theme are the 3 mov of my piano sonata…
One more instrumental before I move on to the vocals...
I came up with this riff one hazy night when I was 19. I'm in my 30s now, and rather more sober, but I still like playing this. It felt good to finally flesh it out.

Lovely chord voicings you used in this

The guitar drifts away as if in a dream the ship sails into a sunset.
You brought the drone!
Ditch era Neil, even down to the sometimes off key guitar solo. Like much!
Great album. Very cohesive, good performances and production. I'll be returning to often I'm sure.
Great album and esp. like the pedal steel on this one!
Very Tao te Ching Michael,in surrendering you win the struggle.
8 minutes in and digging this musical stream of consciousness! Glad you persevered!
You played all instruments? Dang.
Delay my world. I bet that was fun.
Wonderful album Igor. I love nylon string classical guitar ;)
Sweet song and album Keith, beauty in simplicity!
I like how you do your harmonies. Give those guys a raise.
This came together real nice.
Fun ride. Nice drums.
Yeah that's real nice. Missed it the first time around. More of that Jason!
Nice mood piece here, good.
Are you really who you think you are? What is "reality"? Love me some PDK, and this is a great soundtrack.
Wistful. Plaintive. Looking through my own empty rooms.
Played like a real Texas guitar slinger!
Thanks for the comments C, and welcome to the club! Keep on with the great songs!
