about

Going into this one, I was kind of in a depleted mental space. Worn down by the state of the world, weary, and just physically tired. It might have been a good night to take a break, but I kept my appointment with live music, doing the performance anyway. These improvisations are not necessarily about me, or for me. Maybe someone is out there who needs to hear these. So I did it for that person.

This week's pieces develop slowly, and in a few cases I shortened them significantly. These seem like snapshots to me, lingering over static or very slow-moving scenes, maybe wanting or needing things to pause for several minutes. That's where I'm at right now, and maybe you are as well.
