VOLUME II [COMING 2021]
Isolation Improvisations is a series of musical meanderings I began in 2020 while under self-isolation and quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 14 tracks which make up Volume I of this series vary in length and style - while each one is relatively different, there are some consistent stylistic intentions that are ultimately conveyed.
The compositional process for these improvisations is part of a self-imposed daily routine - every morning, I wake up, make a cup of coffee, and write music until I feel it has arrived to some sense of conclusion. By that point, the cup of coffee is usually empty. Volume I is therefore comprised of tracks that are largely first impressions composed in a stream-of-consciousness manner; other than any post-production applied afterwards, the actual content of these improvisations are not edited afterwards. Some of these tracks just meander from beginning to end. Others try to find a sense of purpose or meaning to their existence (typically, exploring material as if attempting to conjure motives). Some are wild and chaotic. Others are more retrospective and contemplative.
Volume I was completed in the early spring of 2020. Volume II will follow a similar compositional process and be completed in 2021 when time allows.
