By Harry Warren and lyrics by Mack Gordon — 1942

There Will Never Be Another You

Testing the initial idea by recording separate guitar tracks one at a time. Each subsequent track was improvised and responding only to the previous track (not all tracks)

Murmuration No. 1 (an experimental ambient sketch for guitar)

Murmurations No.2 is built from 13 improvised tracks, each recorded in sequence and each responding only to the track that came immediately before it. In practice, that means the ear never listens to the full structure — only to a single sound in the moment, and then reacts.

The mix follows the same rule: volume and panning respond solely to the previous layer, creating depth and dimension from a chain of one-to-one interactions rather than a top-down design.

What results is a kind of emergent form.
What’s the shape — the motion — of the piece when each gesture only knows the one that came before it?

Four

My brilliant son’s original composition from many years ago. He built an audition device with components he salvaged or bought. Its shell is a Cool Whip container. The Cool Whip, apparently, adds a certain creamy quality to the overall timbre .
