I just meant some expression like Yuck, or something similar. I
sometimes say "Ick!..."

I tend to play solo when looping live, save recently. -and since that's
the case, I'm always adding music to a loop almost constantly>

I'm thinking more of the idea of improv itself in the form of a more
physical expression in movement along with the music. -Basing it on what I
might do in contact...
