Improvised Music - Most of the music available for download from this site is improvised music. These are mostly recordings of live shows that are 100% improvised. There were no rehearsals and usually no sound checks before the show started. I know that in Machine Gun, we would usually just pick a key to start in and that would be it. That was the total extent of our group preparation for the gig. Everything else that happened was a result of the musical interaction of the musicians on stage improvising.
Solo records -- This category includes all of the CDs released under my name, and although I call them solo records, they all have friends, and guest musicians involved in one way or another. These records were usually written out, or conceived ahead of time or let's say composed music.
Ambient/ Electronic -- This group of CDs includes the three CDs that I released for the German based Fax label under the name Transonic. These CDs are semi composed and semi improvised. They were constructed from electronic sounds, effects and loops, and then in the mixing process, all of these elements were used to improvise the final mixes, in hopes of creating something new. Pete Namlook of the Fax label mentioned to me once that he thought that the first Transonic CD was possibly the beginning of trip-hop.
Friends -- This group of CDs includes my friends CDs from the original MuWorks catalog to friends that I have played with throughout the years to more recent CDs that I'm distributing for friends through this web site. They include CDs by Thomas Chapin, Pheeroan akLaff, John Richey (Lunar Bear Ensemble) Jair-Rohm Parker Wells, John McCracken, Mark Daterman and Glen Moore, etc.
