about

this selection is based on my 2022 free solo log, a number of freely improvised guitar pieces based on self-imposed dogmas:

- start without (conscious) concepts and ideas
- only first takes are chosen
- the use of a looper or various loopers is allowed, but the loops need to be created during the performance
- only marginal editing and processing is done, if any
- a score or sketch is created immediately after the improvisation („post score“)
- move fast from start to finish

download files come in hi-res and also contains a PDF of all post-scores of this particular year - in chronological order.

Master Chick Corea already said everything in the liner notes. There is nothing to add. Maybe the great quality of the recording though. jo jena/imm records
