Thank you. You make great music and it’s always an extra treat whenever you share stems/samples.

Thank you. Your one handed improvisation was the main inspiration for this.

Thanks. I never tried a one-handed impro before. I’d been watching some great Jazz guitarists on YouTube and thought: “What can I do that’s different?” Playing one-handed seemed like a good idea. All the energy & feeling going into one hand, not two …

Your thoughts are very well expressed and very much appreciated.

“…you take away the representations and leave the musical abstraction.”

I like that. I’m not as good with words as you are but this makes me think of how sometimes people will say “I saw… as I listened” and I think hmm, I didn’t see anything, I just heard sounds and felt things I can’t really define.

I agree…I think Rey expressed it quite well. You reminded me of something I read about synesthesia. That’s where people have this rare crossfiring in perception where they can see sound. They claim to see bolts of light when phones ring, or spikes coming out of food as it cooks. The most common are just associating colors or shapes from numbers. For a long time scientists thought they were just overly imaginative or just creative individuals. But this one guy came up with a clever experiment . He thought in a normal person if I were to dump a bunch of numbers on a table and they were all black but one number was red and I asked you to find the red one…you would find it immediately.
So, if synesthesia is a physical
Perception and a real phenomenon,…those people should find the “red” number …even if all the numbers are the same color. Strangely, they could. Stranger yet, they found it immediately even when it was upside down. And even stranger still…even when it was partially covered and upside down!!

I have read of that and have no trouble believing it. Kind of like a deja vu is simply our brain perceiving the present as a memory. Of course synesthesia is much rarer and far more interesting.
