I'm kind of in agreement with Rick here on 'free' music and yet, EVERYTIME I get together to play music, either alone or in a group, this is exactly what I/we end up playing. I record almost everything and will listen back to get a feel for what went down, but I almost never listen back again in a recreational mode. So I spend my time making music that I don't really want to listen to and yet is irresistible to me as a player. I assume (perhaps erroneously) that this is 'music' that would be very hard for a non player to listen to and enjoy as well. And yet, this is the music I make at any given opportunity. The potency of fully improvised music that has never happened before and will never happen again is just too much for me to resist. Whatever joys there might be in performing a 'known' piece just get obliterated by the rush to make new sounds NOW. I find it very strange as I would like to be able to play a rehearsed composition or song and I would like to share what music I make with an audience one day as well, but everything seems to take me in the opposite direction. Anyone else experience anything similar? Kevin -- Till now you seriously considered yourself to be the body and to have a form.
