PROGRAM NOTE
This piece was created from the thoughts of “What if?”

What if Western notation as we know it today was something forced upon instrumentation?

What if instruments had their own unique “vernacular”; a dialect distinctly separate from both each other and their written history?

What if the idiomatic usage of instruments was nowhere near its true vernacular? The Harpsichord a raucous judge, a Double Bass the subtle commentator.

What if a group of like races, say stringed-instruments for instance, had a societal plight against them, an issue to rally under, a strife that demands justice and retribution?

What if a legal writ was established in response?

Found the garage band app on iphone. It's a lot of fun.

It's Raining Outside (with claps on 2 & 4, and an electric guitar on Garage Band iPhone)

This jam was done on a whim in a little countryside shack on my parents property. I had the Yamaha CP25 and Micro Korg Xl Plugged into a loop pedal, and got to work. This is a live improvisation. Enjoy
