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.

Well, I had this crazy idea that *maybe* Buddy Guy was using some microtonal inflections in his cover of Tramp (which are what the "blue notes" are and thought it would be cool to cover it with my fretless guitar. As it turned out it was my ear…
electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center)
Washburn bass
voice with effects
drum loops sliced and diced
An ambient guitar piece done rather quickly, warts and all.
Stems from ideas I've been developing on my new JamMan looper pedal (catnip for guitarists if there ever was such a thing).
Year: 1999
Album:
Land of the Lost
Artist's description:
Forgive me my voice!
This may be the most difficult vocal part I have written and tried to sing - but the vocal dissonance IS intentional.
Everything here (except vocals of course…
Yeah B, weird. If you look at comments, the picture is not available and there's a big white box. If you view more, the picture is present, and also a slice of it at the top of the screen. Interesting bug.
I loaded Sonar with a couple audio tracks + echo and recorded my wife's seagull acoustic via a dean markley soundhole pickup.
After the take I multiplied a couple times and edited a touch.
This is really just a test for a planned piece like…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Lovely chord voicings you used in this
nice. like the the clean reverby guitar tone.
Nice acoustic work. :)
Lovely taste of France. Great playing Kavin! Bee
I didn't make out what you said, listening again... Sounds Russian! And also, do you think I sound like Mac? :)
It sure did. And now for something completely different! Nice one!

Badass, yawl. I can attest BG is microtonal having seen him, his strings bends are often slightly sharp, an amazing gtrist when he wants to be.
Bowed/ebowed mando, how about that. Great sounds and arrangement.
I like the rhythmic dynamics on this 'un and how it floats in and out of a sonic haze.
which button to push..
This has a bizarre carnival feel, Mephisto's merrygoround? Calms down to a nice resolution at the end.
Loop on man! Meow.
awesome, thanks for the tip. Been looking for timestretch software like this!
This is trippy good. Like Santana in a blender.
Wow. The amazing glu has a tune with that same title. I wonder where he's been? Miss him.
Bump for the newbies to enjoy this track!
Like all the tonal contrast going on, and the analog (?) synths.
Yes it was a longer improv, which I edited down to the best bits. Thanks much!
Ever heard of Robert Wyatt? Very much that style. Good job.
Great electro-jazz. Cool.

Great sonic space and execution, BL will be favoriting/dl'ing this.
Hi Rick! I sure like this. been hanging out with Wendy Carlos?
Howr you doin Rick? Peace to you brother, and thank you for your wonderful music!

I love the range of mood and texture in your music!
