RE: EXPLAIN your 10th Anniversary Birthday 30 second tune

["dm" <dmont@knology.net>]

"30 sec from Improv in Dm #37"

My submission is from one in a series of meditations done either solo or
with other players, most of whom have no experience looping other then what
I impose on them.  Some pieces are based on pre-programmed triggered MIDI
loops from either a workstation keyboard (K2000) or Ableton Live with 
little
on no live looping.

Others, like this one, are fully spontaneous.  In this instance, I 
developed
a rhythmic 'drone' pad on the Repeater using voice and hand sounds and
several passes of processed guitar (VG-88 v.2).  The other players 
ad-libbed
over this bed.  My function was to establish and maintain a musical
environment and leave room for them to dialogue.  Open mics captured the
room ambience which can be heard in the background.  The result can be
surprising; from fully chaotic to unexpectedly splendid.

The entire piece developed slowly over 11 minutes; all in all, rather 
short.
I hope you enjoy it.
