- A completely free improvisation exploring a wide variety of harmonic concepts and structures. I've been practicing harmonizing any melody note with any bass note and connecting the resulting harmonies into passages that flow through structures of similar harmonic content.
This has passages of wildly varying harmonic styles, from impressionism to expressionism, tone clusters, jazz harmony, etc.
This improvisation includes more virtuosity -- figuration and scales -- than I typically include. One passage in particular reminded me of a favorite piece by Liszt.
None of this was pre-planned -- I turned off my brain and let my hands and ear have fun on the keyboard.
Absolutely loving your impros. Would love to hear more about how you are weaving melody notes and bass notes together in such a cascading way. You inspired me to discover multi-tonic harmony, but I haven't quite found a way to make it flow like you do.
Thanks so much for the comment. I really appreciate comments, questions, and feedback from fellow musicians. Your comment is interesting and something I'm thinking a lot about lately, since I have in mind some tutorials or analytical videos talking about my process. The problem is that I'm pretty much following the Keith Jarrett idea of turning off your brain and letting your hands play what they find. Of course, they go to patterns and sounds they are familiar with, which is based on the music you've studied, listened to, played, etc.. A big thing I've been thinking about is playing "through" sounds/chords/ideas; an individual sound doesn't have meaning in and of itself but rather from the process that it unfolds within. Another thing is the role of "intention" -- often I find that a chord shouldn't sound good, but if I intend it to sound good, it does... it's a strange thing. Anyway... thanks again! Your comment gets me thinking... I'd love to continue the conversation.
Fantastic ❤!!!! I did not know about your channel until LogioTek made a comment about you. Happily subscribed. ❤
Thanks! LogioTek has helped me connect with several other improvisers, and I'm glad to make your acquaintance! I've subscribed.
@@roberthodson Thank you !!! Glad to have found you !!
Love it! Awesome opening, development, and perormance full of mystery. I instantly knew that I was listening to something new and different, even before I had a chance to read the description. Love the contrasting theme after 3:35 and 4:00 Bravo! 👏
Thank you so much! I so appreciate your comments and engagement with my work!
@@roberthodson I really enjoy different improvs and try to visualize in my mind a hypothetical story.
The new AI-driven UA-cam recommendation algorithm (circa 2nd half of 2023) is really biased against smaller channels and limits your exposure by amplifying underlying biases in viewer demographics, allowing complete exclusion from viewership of certain genders and age groups. My own channel content got locked to a 100% male audience of older age, for both 1 year old content (that used to receive views from wide demographics in the past but doesn't anymore) and newer content, it's really bad.
