>> Richard Lainhart and Jordan Rudess Electronic Improvisations.
These are free improvisations based on exploring the sounds, tonalities, and textures available from electronic instruments and processing. There are no rules as such, and basically anything goes, but they are usually performed with live electronics rather than with pre-recorded material, to allow for the greatest improvisational freedom. Since sonic exploration is the main goal, the textures can range from simple chord changes and melodies to non-tonal noise, and anywhere in between, with sounds you've never heard before, and will never hear again. We think we reached that goal, and we hope you'll join us with open ears on the journey. Richard Lainhart and Jordan Rudess electronic improvisations are now available for sale from Jordan's Download Store.
