Set the Mirage looping, start recording a loop on the upper Stick.

Let the Stick loop go and play live on the lower Stick.

Cue a more-or-less random percussion part I programmed.

Keyboard, Stick and MIDI drums. Words, music, arrangement, production, and performance by Jon Davis.

Zhongyu - Lessons in Pleasure (Live improv 2012)

Zhongyu (终于) is Chinese for "finally" (as in "what took so long?"), and is the name for the current musical project of Jon Davis, who currently lives in Seattle, and formerly lived in Beijing. Before that he lived in Seattle. A long time ago he was in a band called Wild Debbies. Some things from that bygone age will get posted here as well as new stuff.

For newer music, Zhongyu attempts to creatively combine progressive rock with adventurous jazz, electronics and various sounds from around the world. Currently that mostly includes East Asia, but most anything is possible.
