Excelsior (Live) by Johno Wells
This performance (on 11-14-20) was a solo showcase at San Diego Music and Art Company, for their 'Abnormal Music Concert Series' live-stream. It was performed live (with no audience) and the audio was recorded two tracks out with no post processing other than mastering.
Excelsior was created for 4 movements, and improvised within those sections, and set to visuals I created for the show.
Excelsior is a Latin word translated into English as a motto meaning “Ever upward!”
