I almost called this one ‘Induced Atmospheric Vibration’ after some (likely untrue) reports from Portugal in regards to the recent blackout. As some of you know, I played an unplanned solo set after Kaffe Matthews, with whom I was to perform in a duo, got stranded in Portugal. (For those who had wanted to hear our duo, we will be back!)
If this one feels a little like a throwback earlier studies, yeah, I agree… at least in part. There’s some techniques almost directly lifted from earlier improvisations, but combined with some of the structural concerns from some of the more recent studies. I’m not 100% convinced this one works, but maybe it can be made to. We’ll see.

I kept fumbling this one—thus another asterisk [*] on ‘#onetakestudy,’ and thus the title. This one’s very much work-in-progress.
A disprepared ditty bouncing some ideas—well, barely ideas, more fragments of fragments—that emerged from a session with Kaffe Matthews, and a recent gig with Camila Nebbia and Gianluca Elia. It is what it is, but, with a little more work, maybe I can make it into something.

Kaffe and I have been playing since December, and it’s been an evolving, rewarding creative process. This performance will be the first time we get to present our music in public (a big, big thanks to Ligia Liberatori and Isabel Rößler for hosting us), and I’m very excited to finally share our noise!

I came away from a session with Kaffe Matthews with some fragments of ideas—not themes, barely motives—let’s call them random arrangement of atoms. This study is an unprepared (without even a warm-up) first-run of some of these. Think of it as a soup made from whatever’s at hand.
I’ve taken the title for this latest study (‘Don’t Overthink It’) from an album by Corey Mwamba. (I hope you don’t mind, Corey.)
Kaffe and I are performing on Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at REH (Kopenhagener Straße 17, 10437 Berlin).
