01/22/2016 (Continuous Resonance Solo Improvisation)


Neil Welch Continuous Resonance Solo Project

Date: 01/22/2016
Location: The Lakeside School orchestra room. Seattle, WA
Instrument: Tenor saxophone / snare drum

Notes:

This improvisation was documented between teaching students this afternoon. I used the neck and mouthpiece from my horn and made use of a floppy snare on an upturned snare drum in the corner of the room.

01/01/2016 - 01/21/2016 (Lost Documentation in the New Year)

For the first time in my Continuous Resonance Project, I’ve lost a series of improvisations from the month. This was an unfortunate series of events, including a computer failure and my own oversight by improperly backing up my work. Unfortunately about 10 improvisations were lost this month–a hard way to start off the new year.  Thankfully, for some inexplicable reason 5 improvisations remained on my hard drive. I’m very thankful for this and also very proud of my work on these remaining pieces. 

Thank you as always for following my work. Your listening is greatly appreciated.
