'Improvisation....

....something that is improvised, in particular a piece of music, drama, etc. created spontaneously or without preparation.'

'The Broomwood Sessions' (Now Defunct - May 2018)

Seed Studios @ The Broomwood Wellbeing Centre - Mainwood Rd, Timperley, Altrincham was host to the Open Improvisation Sessions on a Tuesday afternoon between: 1pm - 4pm, originally organised by local Altrincham musician Patrick Green and was carried on to run in his honour (By Friend & Seed Studio Volunteer) and was open access to all, these recordings are from those moments.

Rough, smooth, funky, not so.....it doesn't matter, a collection of anyone with varying degrees of experience, coming together, learning, meeting friends and importantly making music....everyone was welcome and access was free.

a) All recordings are first take and unrehearsed.
b) No ideas are discussed before each session.
c) The core musicians do not meet before each session and discuss any ideas.
d) Any musician can, and does, bring an individual idea to the session but no one at the session has ever heard the idea beforehand.
