Burrows from Qualia by Georgina Brett
I improvised for over an hour in an empty swimming pool in Summer 2013 at “The Ov London Improvisation Festival”. Beginning with a chord on the 1st and 4th note of the scale, a high pitched percussive rhythm fades in and new long notes surround the rhythm and new rhythms supercede and fade. At the halfway point the chord changes to contain a new delicate 4 note phrase that brings mystery and low note ostinato heralds high notes and percussive scurries in polyrhythms to a close.
