Changes #2 is the second piece in a series I call Changes. This reverses my usual live improvisatory process. I was asked to perform at an on line media event called The Virtual Sound and Video Festival. I decided that pointing a webcam at my mix would not cut it, so composed a piece that was like my visual improvs, but without the rapid fire cutting I do live.

I decided to use a lot of different thematic material, and to try to combine themes in different combinations. This was a different way of working for me and I enjoyed the challenge. Usually, when I do a studio piece it is focused on a single theme, and my live pieces are generally catch as catch can improvisations.

Changes #1 was done with guitarist Mike Marando, who improvised a soundtrack to the imagery.

I then gave the video to my long-time friend, pianist Eric Zinman, Eric did not want to try to improvise while watching the video, but he gave me a number of solo pieces that he performed with the imagery in mind. I took my favorite of the solo pieces, which was six minutes long, and put it in a timeline with my 25 minute video, and chopped out all the video segments that didn't seem to fit.

I did some further editing to better align the imagery and the music, and the result was Changes # 2.
