4-ish minutes on the Warwick with noise and the resistance of meter.

Electric Bass Improvisation 10/12/2013

This is an experimental composition I created for filmmaker Alan Roth. His prompt was "10 minutes, 4th of July, Fire Island." Using a recording of myself washing the dishes, I was able to create a compositional structure which informed further layers of action and transformation. I borrowed from AM radio as well as a video history of the transistor industry in post-war Japan.
