Pliocene Morning 1

Julian May's Saga of Pliocene Exile is a wonderful collection of novels, with the backdrop of the empty, Pliocene lands of western Europe. I still love wandering through the lost forests of the pre-sentient Eden. This sketch is an attempt at evoking an early morning vista on the Rhone Valley.

The performance is a live improvisation, about 12.30 am on 1 February 2012, as the start of February Album Writing Month www.fawm.org. The recording is also live, with Zari the Dog as audio engineer. Unfortunately her attention wanted and there's distortion in the central section. Still, a dog's a dog for all that.

As with all such things, after the cameras break down and the synths fall over and scream, when you finally touch the keyboard, whatever was in your mind evaporates and something new takes over completely. Hence there will be a #2 which will use the chord I started with!
