A note about the Improvisations Series: Yesod's Improvisations Series is documentation of the raw creative process: the act of individuals learning to critically listen and play together in an improvisational setting. Rather than stress over slight missteps, an occasional flubbed note or unexpected direction changes, the idea is to approach the activity of creating music on an entirely subconscious level--letting emotions and influences of any given moment dictate the form and function of the end product. We hope you enjoy these snapshots of Yesod's musical exploration and find the honest spirit in which they are created to be a refreshing departure from the woes of our overly self-conscious, commoditized lives.
