about

I hope you're all doing well and taking care of yourselves as winter approaches.

This improvisation was a little unusual for me--most of the other performances with Fahey C tuning tend to have it on one or two improvisations before the tuning stops speaking to me. This time, though, the tuning kept speaking, and the music appeared largely on its own. (As sometimes happens, there's some overloading with the first couple, though I've left them in as a record of how things unfolded.)

Thank you all for listening!

Dedicated to the work of Michael Heizer.
