. . . but if you like free improvisation that can get a little edgy at times, you might enjoy this excerpt from a performance last Tuesday in Baltimore by saxophonist John Dierker, electronics musician Erik Spangler, and myself. This is the ending for a long freely improvised piece.

The transition from live to an iPhone to youtube loses some fidelity, but you can hear the notes.

The steel is well suited for free atonal music - I like how you all hang on for a while to each motif, before slowly building into a variation. Also, kudos for posting it here!
