long long impro of doubtful quality

[forestandgarden]

Well here it is http://alooshu.byethost17.com/lalala.mp3 (beware, host places javascript around the file, need to load before downloading), and it's exactly as the name is promising.

Why I'm uploading it regardless, is because it may exemplify an approach to improvising - just going and keeping going, groping one's way, trying out things, making many mistakes, saving some, moving on if they can't be saved - all of it in order to experience a minute of flow here or there, getting beyond inhibition

Not sure why, but it reminded me of the "Battle Medley" from the Bravely Default concert: maybe it's the "videogame soundtrack" kind of vibe!

Very good, makes me want to try do something like that!

Oh cool, that was exactly what I was hoping for: that this would function as an encouragement.

Very happy now

btw, this song has a partner, http://alooshu.byethost17.com/lala.mp3 , an older mix, where I had just cut a different impro in two and made it two guitars soloing at the same time, panned l/r a bit. At the time, I found that mix worse, but playing it today by chance, I don't even think it's terrible. It's shorter, for one .. , the bass/drums balance is different, and al instruments are full spectrum, while in lalala, I had tried out high-passing, 'for more space in the mix'

I like the shorter version better. It reminds me of how The Cure layered guitar melodies on top of one another.
