Improvisation: Lingle
Recordings of compositions are many months, sometimes years, in preparation. It takes me a long time to learn pieces, and even longer to write them! But I’m sticking with this plan of posting a recording every Saturday and Tuesday regardless, which means that many of the recordings will be entirely spontaneous improvisations — like this one.
I’d originally meant to give all the improvs pleasing nonsense names, in the manner of Autechre, but for now, at least…

I seriously do hope you do the L… Lingle T………. trilogy.
In the recordings, there’s an abrupt cessation of sound that is almost percussive – likely when you release the pedal? On my excellent b’day headphones, it’s just a bit distracting.
I love these improvisations! Can’t wait for more!! The Torrington Lope is exactly what a Torrington Lope absolutely must be, ditto with Lingle. I’m eager to hear your instantiation of Cheyenne, one of the loveliest words ever.
Paul:
This is the beginning chord of “ the wounded sky,” isn’t it? clever, clever. I noitced some of your other imporvs are starting from mutations off of seeds sprouted in a differeent way. cool. gooD.!
Yes.
