Path to Returning

mysticwolf75 I live in an area surrounded by trees and birds, so I can relate all too well to hearing the birds singing in the background (and this time of year, spring peepers), so I really appreciate this piece. Thanks for releasing it, Jeff! Also, the cover photo is just gorgeous! Favorite track: Forest Afternoon.

about

This album consists of my live performance on the Star's End radio program in October of 2017. As with all of my previous live shows on Star's End, my set was improvised, beginning to end.

In the case of this set, however, I used some nature elements to ease the transitions from one part of the set to the other, and i found this incredibly satisfying from an improvisation point of view; the music i create in my home studio is often informed by the presence, outside my house, of the sound of birds, the rain, and a stream that runs through my property. It was nice to have a few of those elements to incorporate into my live improvisation, and these elements can be heard on the first track "Forest Afternoon".

The second song, "Path to Returning", is a gentle and spacious exploration featuring some long delay loops. What i most remember about this piece was how it really didn't have a defined direction for quite a while- and how good that felt; I was just looking for a path to follow, but was enjoying the "audio scenery" until one presented itself.
