I've been practicing (again) lately, which is something that is extremely intermittent with me.
I don't know where inspiration comes from but I always act on it and unfortunately I'm a prisoner to it. For some reason playing the saxophone has been fun again. I think when it comes to saxophone playing I'm bi-polar. lol...
Either I love it or I hate it! There's never an in between.
I do practice playing the guitar everyday which I'm new at, and so far that hasn't weaned. So in between that I've picked up my horn again. Here is an improv I did and some of my timing still needs to be worked out but I was satisfied with the results after a weeks worth of blowing out some dust. What I mean is I'm not a truly proficient player even after all these years of stopping and going. I'm a wild/carefree type of player and feed off of whatever strikes my mind without concern for cohesion in the general sense.
It's a modal piece and I love modal work, or free work. Anything that allows the imagination to dabble.
I'm not a diatonic player and so I enjoy going anywhere my ear takes me. I'm going to try and keep at it some more because I think I can go in some areas I've never been to.
I hope some enjoy it.
