Hello everyone!
Every now and then things click "just right" and good stuff happens.
This was the case over Christmas Week 2004 when a few friends and I decided
to chill out and jam with no particular goal or direction---with the
recording gear running. What happened turned out to be particularly
interesting (and I was *still* able dig it after hundreds of listens during
editing), so we decided to make it available.
"Improvised Waves: Mellotron and synthesizer improvisations" may appeal
most to fans of the Mellotron and classic electronic music, with a little
guitar thrown in to spice up one of the tracks. Of four tracks, one is a
Berlin School romp, one is...ummm..."pleasant", and the other two are
organic-sounding spacey tracks. All are unplanned, unscripted, and
unrehearsed, with the only communication coming through what was being played.
My Mellotronists friends Jimmy Moore (Mellotron), Brad Schuman (guitar),
and I (Korg X3, Alesis Andromeda A6, Mellotron) enjoyed putting this
together and like the final results, so we thought we'd take a chance and
make it available for you to enjoy as well. Your feedback would be
appreciated---who knows, we might make more!
