This one’s a bit late for International Drone Day but I hope I’ll be forgiven.

Try as I might this one got away from me.

It’s like secret room music from Mario Bros.

Today, this was more about the tone for me than the, you know, music.

Bringing in a touch of the Wes Montgomery.

Improvised jazz melody. I just realized this morning that for an improv sketch practice, I don’t really play all that much jazz.

I would say this is “out there,” but it might be more accurate to say it’s “in there.” The Hedvig Mollestad influence is strong.

Sloppy and poppy

Riff somewhere between AC/DC and Pinback

Single-note slippery climb

This one brings real confrontational energy.

Sweet + cinematic, tentative.

A simple exploration, which nonetheless managed to jump the rails a bit.

This sketch isn’t sure what it wants to be when it grows up.
🎵 Output before Input #127 - 2022.05.17
I think the theme here is “maintaining consistency” and how some days it’s easy and other days it’s all you can do.

Messy feelings this morning

Trudge through the sludge

I love the style of outlining melody that guitarists like Celestine Ukwu, Ray Phiri, or Ebo Taylor play. It sounds upbeat, but I find it quite a challenge to improvise at tempo and keep that feeling.

Sometimes I have a plan when I hit “record” but this one was a “hit record + see what comes out” moment.

Both hands on the fretboard this morning - I must have looked like Picasso’s guitarist.

Maybe it’s just me but I’m always amazed at how one instrument can play multiple sonic roles and the ear will fill things in with enough hints.

This makes me think of the old Latif Learned work.
🎵 Output before Input #119 - 2022.05.06
A chord study. I tried a bunch of stuff this morning but it all came out so unfocused that it was unusable. It’s interesting how much of a window into my psyche this process has been.

This makes me think of riding on the train.

Full-on free-association. I was trying not to follow any of my patterns for too long.
