I am not sure when I recorded this and it was a surprise to find in the sequencer. I thought it might be a corrupted data file, but I recognized some ideas and the performance is mine.

I am trying to play a type of "anti-music" by consciously breaking the rules of good music as I perform this improvisation.

Why would anyone [except a philosopher or mathematician] want to do something like that is totally beyond the realm of understanding, but here it is. Peace.

Surprisingly, after listening to this for six minutes, you are refreshed for new mental exertions. The music somehow energizes and distracts the mind. Try it and see what you think.

This idea is based on the concept presented by Lewis Carroll in the essay "Feeding the Mind." I have a video based on that essay on this youtube channel atwaterpub.

Mostly, I am just having silly fun. Thanks for listening.
