about

Ten (unedited, un-overdubbed) solo improvisations. An audio sketchbook of a month that wasn't.

I essentially swore off the purist "solo improv album" several years ago, unable to imagine I'd ever feel the slightest need to release another, focusing instead on collaboration and composition - dedicating the bulk of my creative practice to carefully crafting "pieces" and bringing to life those by and with others.

But then the strangest thing happened! And among my responses so far has been a practice of practicing - a desperate flailing towards an illusion of productivity and meaning.

The act of compiling and releasing these, in rather a fit of pique, is intended to serve as a counterweight to the gravity and painstaking deliberation inherent to "Triptych (tautological)." Please enjoy accordingly.

On May 1st, it is free if you'd like it to be, with my sincere thanks. You can, of course, also always buy me a (tax deductible) drink (over here: sffcm2.giv.sh/991f ) should you have the means and inclination.

Regardless, I deeply appreciate your ears and your time. Please stay safe.

Manual
by The BSC

The definitive document of a critical juncture in improvised music. A heartening instance of peers eloquently asserting their place in the Grand Narrative by, well, writing it themselves. Kyle Bruckmann

STRATIC
by stratic

A thoroughly distinct Bay Area take on another possible facet of 'eai' (electro-acoustic improvisation). Feisty, confident, flecked with surprising streaks of krautrock... Kyle Bruckmann
