Live WaveForms
I've edited some examples of WaveForms from the Salisbury Centre gig I played on 28th November 2008. The recording quality's not too bad, but since the mic was close to my pedal rack you can hear every click and stomp. I don't mind, it makes it feel all the more like a real person's doing this, not a synth or sequencer.
Cathedral and Glass are fairly 'structured' improvisations, with a definite sequence of planned voices and moods. Soft Frippertronics and Sand in the Sky are completely improvised. Soft Frippertronics is the one for me - it seems to be just the right balance of playing and not playing, and what the guitarist played that night seems, well, right. Lotus Feet is what I usually end these sessions with, as a kind of 'let's relax now!' - it's actually a composition by John McLaughlin for his Shakti band. If John or his record co object to this being here I'll take it down.
