    In the artist Bio I ran down the general idea of this project, but if you haven't read it i'll summarize. These songs will most likely all be recorded on one track, through one microphone, containing probaly just guitar and vocals, though I may throw a harmonica in for curiosity killed the cat like reasons. The songs themselves will all be improved, meaning melody, lyrics, and chord progressions all interwoven and released at one time, it might just burn into a pile of mush. Generally I try and record a 15-30 minutes improv, and then I cut out smaller sections which fit as one track. Limited by Mp3.com, I will only be able to post three "tracks" at a time, but I will try and rotate them once a month or so if I find that more than I care to hear them. I may also apply delay like effects in some cases after the recording, though because the guitar is recorded on the same track as the vocals, any effects are broadsweeping over the entire track. Not the cleanest, or most efficient way to do things, but it is in keeping with the mandate of spur of the moment music.

    The latest improv in the batch, I think the strongest exhibit for the idea. Still sticking with full on melody, chordal, vocal flowing, no preconceptions. Reminds me very much of many of my influences, I can really tell how easy to influence I am. There are some effects applied after the recording, mainly an echo and other delay like effects. It makes me less whiney?

    just an improv, narrated such but don't confuse the speaker and the improver. The first of this experiment, followed directly by the next song... they were earlier and the essence hadn't really developed yet.

    A longer improv, I inserted some effects into it from my computer but still just one track, recorded all at once, from nowhere.
