GT LL THT U DSRV

I feel quite full of energy after the break so this time it looks like two improvisations are being published on the same day! This one is loosely based on Steven Wilson's "Get All That You Deserve" from his latest solo album “Insurgentes”. On the just released mini-album “NSRGNTS RMXS” you can find two great remixes of this track as well. Each of them exposes a different feature of this magnificent composition. Highly recommended.

Key Signature Tackled, Pt. 3
08/07/09 20:57
OK, probably some explanation is due. The lack of new improvisations for the past days was mostly because of my absence: I was visiting Birmingham. Still, I’m back and ready to rock! :)
Today’s improvisation is the third movement in the KST series. This piece explores some of the oldest jazz progressions, trying to find something elusive and unknown in them, trying to tell a story. In the series, four parts are planned, the last one being a finale that merges all themes. This will be quite a challenge, stay tuned.

Note: You might want to look at the archive of older entries where all improvisations for June are still being kept.

Electric Fridays #12: Of a Long Day
12/06/09 22:40
It seems consecutive episodes of Electric Fridays got closer to each other than they were before. We’ll work it out. Nevertheless, this time a very quiet and slow piece, very mellow and peaceful.

It's Nice Until It Gets Nasty

It’s still a big surprise for me how differently can those who were once very close to me behave when they feel left behind.

PS: I have some trouble releasing REALLY daily. This has to do with the perturbations I experience lately. Hopefully it will all settle down soon...
Also, vote for my remix. 8 days left!

In Your Room

A clumsy attempt at fast, rhythmic performance. When you’re playing in a tempo that technically makes you a big metronome, there’s hardly space (and time) for invention.

Electric Fridays #8: Lilac Picking
08/05/09 22:27
Another installment of weekly e-piano improvisations welcomes a distorted vintage suitcase e-piano.

PS. That’s right. I missed the improv yesterday... some days are just too short for the events they bring in.

Something in the Pocket

The first three days of May were public holidays in Poland. Hence, no improvisations were published. This piece introduces the third month of the DailyImprov.net project.
I was looking for some unwanted files on my hard drive to make room for other stuff and, while at it, I found some very old music I did on tracker software many years ago. This improvisation is based on one of the tunes I composed back then.

Desire as a Manifestation of Power
28/04/09 21:46
As means of contrast to the more technical or bizarre tunes of the last few days, this time a simple mellow theme composed and recorded in one take.

Silence of the Appearing
14/04/09 23:11
A chaotic tune, recorded in the first days of April. Very edgy, somewhat bluesy and only a draft concept.

As a side note, I managed to prepare an article on how I use categorisation on this site and what use it has for you. Read on.

I planned for some time to prepare a more structured series of improvisations. KST, Pt. 1 starts a particularly mellow one. Three more parts are planned. You can also be interested in KST, Pt. 2.

Electric Fridays #4: Lullaby for My Son (Phase 1)
03/04/09 23:38
Another installment of Electric Fridays, weekly e-piano improvisations. This time a very calm tune, passed the lullaby test. Not a particularly successful rendering but consider this as work in progress.

To Runie (Thorvnivm)
19/03/09 21:48
This would probably be a base for a catchy song. Provided that the lyrics weren’t too embarrassing. The performance is somewhat imprecise but you’ll have to excuse me, I just had to get this theme published. Probably will do a better version of it later on. Recorded at 146 BPM. And by the way, “to runie” means “it will collapse” in Polish.

One of Anomalies, a series of improvisations I’ve done in 2007. Unfortunately the unedited Logic files are gone, so only the processed ones will be published along with the MP3s.
