Improv Project – Day 11

August 18, 2014

Today, I improvised in the style of Mozart's GM flute concerto, Mvt. 2.  I did something inspired by Mozart, using some of his themes, to try and get a better grip on what I'm working on.  This is a interesting way to practice that puts me in the composer's shoes for a minute.  It makes … Continue reading Improv Project – Day 11

Improv Project – Day 10

August 8, 2014

Today, I wanted to do something that would force me into unfamiliar territory, so I put the challenge to myself to record an improvisation with multiphonics as an important feature.  This also forced me to really think about how multiphonics are used in music and what about them I wanted to explore.  This was really hard … Continue reading Improv Project – Day 10

Improv Project – Day 7

August 1, 2014August 1, 2014

Today, I decided to use a format for my improv that I learned at UMich in my very first introduction to improvisation.  The format is simple, an improv in AB format, where A is un-pulsed and B is pulsed.  I feel like I need parameters to help me sometimes when I'm improvising, just to give … Continue reading Improv Project – Day 7
