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.

rpm 2012 #8

rpm 2012 #12 hello finish line

I thought I was going to have us record a cleaner version of this - this is a live take from a Christmas service. I wrote a song to tag along after the end of one my favorite songs ever, The Star Carol. Today's endless streaming of snow, still…

It began as a poem, until two separate friends inquired randomly how the song sounded... I replied, "What song?" and they laughed... So I went back to the studio and this came out... Enjoy! (All parts by CMOR 2010)

An outtake from the Uthemandi project. I laid some guitar and fretless bass synth over Will's drum/synth track.

rpm 2012 #12 hello finish line

rpm 2012 #11 boom

rpm 2012 #10 I decided that after that last one I had earned a drone

rpm 2012 #9 so short! if you're rushing a project, I recommend not choosing five part wind ensembles
