Each entry is a live recording of me attempting to shorten the distance between my brain and the hammers of the piano.

11 Feb 2008, #6. "Mara Liasson" - 3m50s
After a herky jerky start, I fall into a little tango number. I realized after the fact that it is a reimagining, one half step down, of a previous improv ("Beatrice," from the January 7th group). Compare the two – it's interesting to see the similarities.
This is for all my good friends who like to dance a fine tango now and then. You know who you are – can you dance to this?

Recorded on February 11th, 2008, at Peace Church of the Brethren, in Portland, OR, with a Zoom H4 Digital Recorder. Edited with Audacity music software.
The goal of this blog is to post, on a semi-regular basis (I try to update it weekly), recordings of piano improvisation sessions, for people to listen to, and possibly comment on. These pieces are free improvs – stream-of-consciousness creations. Each improv session yields multiple pieces. A new piece starts when I sit down to play, and ends when I get up. Some pieces are split into movements, based on significant shifts in musical direction, usually with a complete stop. For more info, please read the introduction.
