Musical Free Improvisation

I play many musical instruments and on pretty much all of them, I’ve spent time doing free improvisation, that is — just making up pieces of music from scratch. They are not improvisations in a particular genre, like classical or jazz, but of course they’re influenced by my personal experience of music, which includes classical training on trombone and piano, playing in orchestras, chamber groups, big bands, jazz bands and funk bands as well as listening eclectically. I post selections from my free improvisation on my SoundCloud.
