Very striking. And unequivocally - lute - music. It's amazing (speaking as non-improviser) that you are wholly or even partly improvising this music. Are the 'loops' what would have been called the 'tape' in the past (or 'electronics' more recently) i.e. fixed and finished and electronically/digitally produced? Are are the loops somehow being generated by the lute itself? Stuart Thank you Stuart, The loops have been improvised (except from the last movement) with midi guitar into my Sibelius notation program, so they are written out, then I exported the music into WAV then into MP3, then I put fragments of them into a loop machine (a JamMan Looper). For the recording I connected the Looper with an amplifier (Trace Elliot), let it play and performed on it. The music I aEUR~comprovised' is for what concerns at the very beginning of Movement 1 and 2 basically writtien down (only the little theme and some short ideas) , Movement 3 is completely improvised.
