Live Guitar Improvisation (Ursa, Montreal March 2022)

about

This piece was recorded live at Ursa, my favourite venue in Montreal. My friend Tommy Crane had asked me to open for him with an improvised set. I reeeeally love live improvisation (I released another live performance a couple of years ago from a festival in Moncton - open.spotify.com/album/0sz8e5uaSK2yeUq2Cm3Tj3?si=JlhLkLKMR7KGNvnzC3OTuQ )

Although ultimately what I play is decided in the moment during the show I'll work on the set in advance, coming up with themes, techniques, sometimes forms that I can put together as a "setlist" and then explore during the show itself. In the ideal scenario, if I'm present enough to what's developing in the moment I won't even reference those notes.

My friend Trevor Turple recorded the set live, and I really love the places it goes. Note-to-self - play more improvised shows!
