Thanks Jeris. I wasn’t sure at first whether to cut out the the laugh etc. at the end, but then I figured Joe left it in for a reason, so I did too.

I looked at his sample after I listened to this. It was nice to see that he was laughing in his description because he kept his first take of the improv. Then he was also laughing in his reply to a comment left by Panu.
Finally, I saw that I had used his sample. I guess I manipulated the pitch so much I didn’t recognize the original sample anymore, and I think he has a few clarinet samples. Anyway, the final surprise was that the piece I used the sample for was with MMT and the song was a light hearted reflection on death and mortality…apoptosis was the name I used for the track, which means “gentle death” like the falling of leaves from trees. He also knew the meaning of apoptosis, related it to entropy, which is also a correct interpretation.

Yes- I thought the clarinet felt familiar… Yeah…

Thanks Admiral…I wanted a kind of celebratory somewhat discordant improv feel…so hopefully I’ve achieved that.

Thank you Speck

Thanks snowflake. It’s all Joe, I just put it together.

Thanks, I think you ‘got’ it.
