"There are no wrong notes; only unintentional right notes."
This is a quote taken from a beautiful book by one of the Free Improvisation Missionaries, the late Derek Bailey.
It kind of sums up my approach to music; I love free improvisation, the risk, the uniqueness of every musical moment, the tension and attention when I improvise with others, the special moments that emerge, out of nowhere. Don't get me wrong; you will get a lot of booooring stuff too! But.... those special moments.... out of the blue.... magic once again..... maybe just a glimpse, but for me it's enough.
The tracks I've uploaded are an example of just that; everything is improvised, nothing prearranged, no verbal communication whatsoever. Some are done alone, using a looper and adding layers, some are with other musicians. But all are a first (and only) take, and editing is resticted to a bare minimum.
The quality is what it is, the compression is high; I wanted to get the whole tracks in.
I'm always up to experimenting with others; my main instrument is a melodica, which I mike and pass thru effects, like a wah-wah, a delay, a looper. But I'll use WHATEVER is at hand; flutes, voice, shakers, harmonium, harp.
