Garrett and I have been exploring some microtonal sounds recently and decided to record an improvisation with simply that in mind. Garrett can be heard on the left channel, and I am on the right channel. Best listened to at louder volumes so you can hear some of the overtones and other complexities at the quietest moments. Recorded 15.8.29.

The W/M Sessions, "Micro-Exploratonal" (15.8.29)

^4 is a chordless quartet comprised of two saxophones (Aaron Dutton and Emilio Mesa), bass (Lucas Reader), and drums (Andrew Sneed). This composition is dedicated to the late Ornette Coleman and how he has influenced my musical journey.
