I just stumbled across a piece I'd forgotten I'd recorded, I think in 2017. It sounds okay! A bit weird and I think the mix could be better, but the project catastrophically crashed and I can't recover it... so it is what it is.

As always, a wonderful Life affirming experience to see the master and his brothers at work!

This is a short improvisation, a bit of an experiment in extending the range and complexity of simple triads etc using a harmoniser and filling some sonic space with synthesis and an 'intelligent' reverb which adapts to harmonic content so as not to create a muddy mess of notes. I guess you could call it 'ambient'.
