about

recorded Feb.3,2024

DISCLAIMER: These recordings document improvisational moments captured in time. They are not finished or finalized, polished or perfected, but rather representations of what it was like in the room at the time, and how the musicians heard things and reacted in the moments. While much of it is filled with spontaneous joy and delight, some of it represents the 'struggle' of the moment, whether it's picking the right instrument, patch, sample bank, or cassette, or deciding upon the proper way to fit in (or contrast with) the key, phrasing, mood or texture. As such there are mistakes, fumbles, false-starts, wrong notes, etc., but they all come from that genuine place of human creativity and ensemble-before-individual mentality.
