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.

We forgot to mention that Reg visited Norm's place a little later and added some vocals. The video is a ride through the US state of Virginia. The Texas Tavern serves cheesy westerns (cheese, fried egg, burger, bun) in the downtown of Roanoke Va.

I have tried to capture that "stabbing"feeling that comes when someone says, "You were really pissed last night! Do you remember what you did?" And of course you don't remember! So you don't know whether you were a dickhead, or an arsehole or…
Contains an example of Reverse Speech, or a speech reversal that appears on the voice of Truman, namely "Mad! They must have dropped it before the whirlwind." This appears where Truman says, "'The world will note that the first atomic bomb…
Other layers may or may not be in the works, but I thought I'd let everyone have a listen so far.
HERE WE ARE TODAY
How can it be so clear
In my mind
The first night you were here
Like going back in time
Sweet as summer wine
Your whisper…
This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.

This started with a couple of samples in a new version of Boite Diabolique where the samplers slide over them at different rates and varying granular density. I recorded some of that as I varied the rates and then brought the recording into Live…

My...how did you get Crosby/Nash to sing bg vocals? Brighter days, JMT.
I usually go to iHop for a cheesy western, but I bet they're better at Texas Tavern.
Ok sorry. Some criticism. Too short and needs a better title.
Happiness is waking up to new tracks by Geas and MTC. Send me some of that water yawl are drinking.
Good luck with that bro. This rocks.
Great great video and song. Looks like Va. could use some rain too. Where is the Texas Tavern shown at the end?
Very pleasant. Feel good electronica.
Sounds great sans vocals. Heard of Popol Vuh?
Aaah. Dreaming of the finned beauties..
Refreshing, a rush!
Dark. Disturbing. As it should be. This was the anniversary recently wasn't it?
Nice one KL, made me feel good which I needed.
how the hail did I miss this? woaw
Reminds me of my days working in the Denebian trilithium mines.
Well done. Very Pachelbel.
added to the electronic/ambient playlist. thanks. http://alonetone.com/kavin/playlists/kavins-favorite-electronicambient-tracks-on-alonetone
hard to believe you have no more than 20 listens on any of your tunes.
dreamy. great. But now I have that blasted earworm.
The Cline brothers, really? Would love to hear more about that someday. Nels seems a bit subdued, but still great.
I like the treatments on the horn. The rhythm brothers are spot on, as usual.
