Improvisations

one of the sporadic improvisations that happen once every year or three

Dan Improv on keyboard 9-11-08

Dan - Improvisation 2009 on Falcone Baby Grand - stream of consciousness so changes character suddenly throughout

I suppose if Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture were written in a hall off mirrors in an eerie circus dream with a music box  ...

Dan silly improvisation on a Celesta sample - September 2008

I must have been a weird mood this night ... didn't you know Darth Vader played the Carillon?  Some fun timbres and echo effects explored.

Dan - Improvisation on Carillon sample - September 2008

The first time we played with one another in ages, with more of the 2 of us to be featured and updated on http://soundcloud.com/extemporaneous-fantasy .  We both appreciated the plectrum plucked piano & guitar more, but this was fun & uncharacteristically upbeat

Dan and Mike Improv - Mallet Piano and Muted Clean Guitar - 9-6-12

To date, this is the nicest improvisation Mike & I have done together.  Even though we couldn't even see one another, there was some great musical communication.  

What resulted were diverse characters, ideas, imitations, transitions, & sections.  

The more I listen to it, the more I anticipate a myriad of happy accidents ;)     


We will continue to post updates on http://soundcloud.com/extemporaneous-fantasy
