Halfsteps 3 Is Online: New Sound Of Free Jazz Guitar

Yes, "Halfsteps 3" is online! What I pursue is to make sound closer to the listener, add intimacy, at the same time to make it concerting. As I hear it in my head - space shout of delicate mini technique. Who can tell: why I am followed by wabi-sabi? 

Horizon - free jazz instrumental

Music has the wonderful property of telling stories without using words. I like that very much, as you can tell about anything you want - including tales of your hidden corners, poetry, which does not know day light. HORIZON is another 'long' 19 min story I recorded after RUZHYNSKA . They own some nostalgy blue minor sense and hold that nice Jazz tone (I like).

Electro Techno Free Jazz progresses. May 2019

Two tracks #02090519 and #03090519, a second and third takes, got published on YouTube. As a rule I record three takes and choose the best one, but after re-listening I found out, that 2nd and 3d takes are both interesting and worth publishing.  My interests for now are a) developing of my own language of improvisation b) music developing at all.  Second Take    Third Take Backing track  Some notes about the sound. I have decided to go toward headphone acoustical comfort and pleasure. Therefore, some antiphase issues are exist, though it is the big no-no in EDM and mixing in general. I suppose my music will not be so popular on the dance floor, but will be listened a lot on headphones as most people do. And then - Techno Music + Free Jazz is VERY nice combination of "Butter and Bread".  

Electro Techno Free Jazz #01110419, April 2019

My next Free Jazz / Electro Techno creature is 18' long piece with Deep Techno kick. I liked to add some motive and keep the whole story in some scale or tonality, or modal form.  There are some Be-Bop elements at the end, but they are accidental. I avoid any be-bop stuf and concentrate more on phrasing, storytelling and melody. And you know - that is not easy. Much easy is to close eyes and start to improvise untill "tape ends". Any idea adds rational frame, which I like to avoid.    And again: - oops, I forgot to make pauses! Were is my belovely silence? I don't need that solo on background, but dialog!

ElectroTechnoJazz? A new version of 150319 just published

Electro Techno Jazz? I call that style Electro Techno Jazz or Electro Techno Free Jazz (I love the word Free, you know), but you can call it whatever you like. Personally, my idea is not to open a new style name, but simply enjoy to free improvisated music touched by Techno and Modern Jazz. I would love to add a words Be Bop, Cool Bop or anything sounding pop, but my guitar is too far away from those beautiful streams of XX century Jazz.  I like the concept Bill Evans once told: - Jazz music is intentionally improvised at origin . Music originally played by people who loved and enjoyed that free flow of melody or joy and sadness inside. They didn't know || - V7 concepts and modality. And Miles also tells about 'creation flow' in spontaneous improvisation, that was lost nowadays.  I just touch a water and happy to transmit that touching enjoyment to anybody.  #01150319  That impro is another version of 150319 set.
