Turn Out The Stars

This was the first of two works I created with the aid of a score. The performance is improvised but under strict harmonic rules. The pitch material and the range is determined throughout but the actual note choice is left up to the performer. The rhythm is free although a pulse is kept during the performance so that the score can be read at the same tempo each time.
I recorded this myself with multiple overdubs. I didn't listen to any of the individual takes and only listened back upon completion of all the parts.

No Lines Marked

This was the second of two works I created with a written score. This performance is 12 guitars, 2 'sections' or 'instruments' made up of 6 individual takes of the same score. The performance is improvised but under strict harmonic rules. The pitch material, dynamics, density of sound and the range is determined throughout but the actual note choice is left up to the performer. The rhythm is free although a pulse is kept during the performance so that the score can be read at the same tempo each time.
I recorded this myself with multiple overdubs. I didn't listen to any of the individual takes and only listened back upon completion of all the parts.
