I suppose in many ways my goal is not to produce music, or even art, but improvisation. <BR/><BR/>Improvisation as the endgame rather than a means to an end. <BR/><BR/>Other concerns enter the fray also, of course, like 'filtering' in 'Filter' and other things elsewhere, but the central concerns, I think, are essentially improvisational.<BR/><BR/>thanks again, Brian!<BR/>and good to see you, Barry ('ADD version' - I like that!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-91014614920524903552009-01-31T14:13:00.000-05:002009-01-31T14:13:00.000-05:00hi brian, thanks for the mention. my was indeed d...hi brian, thanks for the mention. my was indeed done after the fact and long distance. what i did was take massimo's recording and process it via a computer program. the program changed playback speed quite a lot and quite often resulting in what a friend of mind call the ADD version of the piece. i added no new material at all.Barry Chabalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403528763973855293noreply@blogger.com
