There’s usually a lot of implied other music going on in my mind, but in the case of this sketch it feels particularly empty with the stuff that’s missing.

Just a taste of an idea. I get the image of some kind of twisted Newton’s cradle.

The melody came quickly when I sat down; this is a simple exploration of what else goes with that melody.

Riffing on a chord progression that kind of goes its own way after a while. It’s nice when that happens and I can roll with it. I’ve noticed that I often struggle to roll with it and trip over my own feet.

Sometimes searching out dissonance is just too tempting. It seems to happen for me a lot with this sort of decaying distortion tone - the beats between the waves are so juicy.

Total blank-mind improv - restless + searching but never landing really.

This is a friend trying to get you to dance at the party.

This has a bit of a Francisco Tárrega vibe.

This started as me playing along with #149
the first time I played it back. Listening to it now, it suggests “part 2” of #149 in a lot of ways.

I guess I had one more in me this morning - though it’s not some mind-blowing idea that just had to burst forth into being. It feels more like a coda - or an interlude - if anything.

This has a very Papa M / Album Leaf thing going on. It probably would have sounded less sloppy if I’d capo’ed it but that’s the price you pay for making it up as you go.
