    I’m big on contemplative, emotionally-driven tunes — things that inspire, move, and evoke an emotional response of any kind; which is one reason I have historically gravitated towards songs like this one that I composed on the fly. Song #3 from my March 20th improv session in 2005 does just that, and is essentially a contemplative piece to drift away to — whether a lazy afternoon nap or a lullaby to send you off to REM mode.

    It’s a short piece just shy of three minutes, so probably not long enough to fall asleep to unless you’ve got your mp3 player on repeat or have taken a sleep aid prior to downloading today’s improv piece. Either way, it’s a nice relaxing piece that might help bring a little bit of calm to whatever storm you may be experiencing today.

    Enjoy. And as always, if you enjoy what you hear please leave some comments and buy an album or two.
