about

this selection is based on my 2023 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 contain a PDF of all post-scores of this particular year - in chronological order.

"three themes" as well as "one note/five notes" were each composed spontaneously in one coherent take.

Now

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
