Wow very cool, and different. Wish I could improvise like that. :(

Recording sounds nice too. What mics did you use on this? The SM57's again? Hard to tell.

Excellent! Reminds me of Henry Kaiser...the woodyness is very apparent on my monitors, and charming. Shifting of time sig is very unique and the intervals are well chosen. I'd like to hear this with the low end filled in, perhaps a bowed bass or organ pedals, but it stands alone very satisfyingly. I look forward to more if you are posting it.

Hi Tim,

This is excellent! Very moody and quirky, but still soft and dynamic.

Just curious, but do you improvised both tracks, or just the "second" one?

Thanks for sharing,

Chris
 
Cool improvising Mr. Lawler :cool: It's abstract like a Picasso. I especially like the trills and the lines that move symetrically down the fretboard. Eq is really solid on this one and the panning/separation allows for easy enjoyment of either guitar part. Playing is superb as always....

:D :) :D :)

As always, good playing Tim. Nice sound also...

Some interesting moods here...a little dark at times. (don't know what else to call it... :o )

I like it... :D

danny, Flangerhans, bigmahon, ido1957, Dogman – Thanks for listening and the positive feedback. Dark and quirky definitely. :cool:

danny – mike was a KEL HM1 into a Tascam US122 pre. Just what was on hand in my teaching studio during a break.

Flangerhans – good idea re a low end part.

bigmahon – both tracks were just wandering free improv, the second just responding, in a way, to the first

ido, Dogman – a little darker in EQ than I’d like, but I had to roll off the highs a few dB on one of the gtrs as it was tracked in a super bright reflective room and everything above 2 kHz was pinging all over, heh.
 
Very interesting piece of music, you never know where you're going with it.

I enjoyed it alot.
 
This is very jazzy.

And it reminds me of windchimes - I don't know why (and Sun Ra, without the pocket trumpet, lol).

It's not random - but when you are listening to a bunch of different windchimes that complement each other in pitch, do you know how there's almost a cadence you can follow, but not quite.

Pretty sounds, Tim.

Look forward, hopefully, to meeting you in Conneticut this summer.

metalhead, Supercreep - Thanks a lot.

You're hearing it just like I was thinking while playing. Free improv is very liberating for a nerd like me who spends so much of my time playing music that's all mapped out, one way or another. I started just as a kind of warmup exercise - playing single sounds, listening hard to the tone and articulation, then a figure, then a phrase, but as pure sound, not major/minor/song form stuff, and it just got out of hand. :eek:

And even with all that I still can't get completely away from tonality and predictable phrase structure yet.

I was going to call it "Free Improv" in the thread title, but that sounds too much like "Free Download", haha.
 
Casey/Tim -- Are you going to Andover?

I live a town or so over. 20 minutes out ...

I went last year -- it's a lot of fun.

Speaking as a fellow nerd, I like it very much, and would love to hear more improv from you.
 
This sounded very Jan Akkerman to me, in other words very great.

Reminds me of a song called carnival fugue.

As for the recording, sounds great to me.

I really like the sound of your guitars, theire allways mellow and sweet :cool:

This was abit different then the songs I`ve heard you play earlier, but I enjoyed it just as much.

Thanks for sharing :)

Very cool. It'd be great to hear a cello in there. ;).
 
This is like alien geometry where there are square circles. This could be their theme song, it has sort of this cool awkward, but still together feel.. like tame acoustic chaos. I like it a lot, sets sort of a "don't know what's going to happen" alien murder mystery mood. Anyway, nice playing, enjoyed it :cool: :)
