a brief solo (3.5 mins). i would ecourage you to watch the video before reading the explanation.
the music is «first brain» by kaki king, with dan brantigan on the trumpet. the footage is from my isight with overlaid audio (the inbuilt mic is not great quality).
i don't normally work with this type of improvisation score (in terms of content / form). it took a few iterations to make the mental/physical switch and 'interpret' rather than 'follow'.
with improvisation stimuli, it is important not slavishly replicate the instructions. a score gives direction and focus, but remains open. it leads you, but is not confining.
