Eyes closed, no planning, total improvisation, no editing.

I used this impro for my composition for Saxophone Quartet "When will this change"

When will this change

Eyes closed, no planning, total improvisation, no editing.

Who would have thought

motor movements like the wind blowing not manifesting as sound unless meeting resistance in leafs grass high voltage lines movement manifesting as sound

Moist Grass

do you ask the leaf for an explanation why it moves left then right then up down whirl a movement that can be heard or not heard just stating the occurence of an event not expecting it to make sense in the way you expect an action directed towards you to make sense but the way a leaf makes sense when it moves left right then up down in the wind sometimes resulting in a sound sometimes not

(not) particularly

Another impro on top of Satie's Gymnopédie no. 1..

1632 - 11 - 24 Improvisations on Spinoza #07

This is part of my experiments with a sextet format, flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano and percussion. I chose the title since I expect to use this short piece as an interlude before and after the movements of a larger composition. 

What you here is a midi generated version of the piece, using Sibelius --> Noteperformer --> Adobe Audition

Interludio For 6 Instruments

Improvisation using my acoustic piano connected to Behringer Crave analog synth

Impro with analog synth and acoustic piano

A generative analog synth setup using Behringer Crave and the Doepfer A160-2 Clock Divider. 

The nose output from Crave is routed into MIX 2, and VC MIX is set to the exact spot, where the noise signal becomes a random rhythm. The output of VC mix is routed to the Clock divider, and from there (using the prime number setting) various timed divisions are routed to various inputs on the Crave (OSC FM, OSC MOD, VCF CUTOFF, etc).

Generative analog synth sound ecosystem

An improvisation on analogue synth + acoustic piano. I am using Pure Data to record bits of midi, playing it through the Crave analogue synth in a loop with varying speed and pitch. This creates a semi-independent 'machine-musician' / friend to jam with.

Life out there

Her kan du lytte til de forskellige sange, som du skal prøve at spille og gætte på ukulelen.

Denne liste er et supplement til en app/læringsspil, målrettet elever på mellemtrinnet. I appen ser eleven tabulatur-notation af 2 sange (uddrag) eleven skal prøve at spille sangene, og vælge den rigtige titel ud af fire mulige. 

Hvis ikke eleven (gen)kender sangen ud fra titlen, kan han / hun lytte til sangene her.

Dance II

Dance I

En ældre kvinde og en yngre. En samtale der løber helt løbsk. Jeg melder mig i koret af folk der har brug for at mene noget om det berømte/-rygtede portrætinterview med Ghita Nørby på Radio24syv.

En mand går ude i naturen med sin hund og taler med sig selv; han fortæller, hvad han ser, hvad han oplever imens han går ude i naturen, og han fortæller, hvad han tænker, om det han ser, om hvad han før har tænkt, og om, hvad han tænker om, hvad andre før har tænkt.

Hør "Hele Danmarks Ghita her": https://www.24syv.dk/programmer/24syv-dokumentar/49576480/hele-danmarks-ghita-1

Og hør iøvrigt selve råbåndene, hvor der tilsyneladende foregår en hel del, ganske stille og rolig samtale mellem de to kvinder, her: https://www.24syv.dk/programmer/raabaand/49610404/raband-14-03-2019
