Sound Sculptures
(instrumentals)
The reason I call these Sound
Sculptures are based on the way in which they were created. They originated by
me recording my warm ups, in a free-form jam, then listening to them and also
thought I might hear something that I could use as the beginning of a song,
filler in a song etc. But then, I thought, hey, these might work well as
instrumentals, if organized into a theme. Bryan Downey had taken one of my jams
and edited it into a short piece about 6 months earlier, and this spurred the
idea I could do the same, and maybe then relearn the instrumental and perform it
as a whole. So I started editing them, taking the best parts of the jam, and
forming them into some sort of a cohesive whole by "chipping away and smoothing
out the rough edges" which is what you do when you create sculptures. They
weren't really a fully performed instrumental, they were derived by that block
of stone called a free-form jam.
