The thought of me doing improv used to be exciting, and terrifying.  I remember being so amazed by the greats, I still am - Ella Fitzgerald being one master that comes to mind.  But the thought of me doing it, resulted in feelings of near panick.  I began by trying a little improv on my own, I felt so clumsy and awkward.  It's taken me years to get to where i am now, and i am so so thankful.  I know i still have a long way to go on this wonderful path i am so thankful to be on, and that's wonderful.  I am finally at a place where when I sing in the moment, without care for words, structure, performance, I am feeling liberated and like I'm sharing something so real and worthy, even if it's just the tree's an subtle endless reverberating around the universe of my frequencies.  I don't always sound good, some times i sound pretty awful.  Sometimes i sound great - it's all ok - I am no longer worried about sounding bad, a fear that so many of us share.  I have released this fear, I have released the shame.  It is so therapuetic to sing, and play according to my feelings in the moment, what a wonderful practice.  What once instilled so much fear in me has become something that instills courage, peace and self love.  Improv.  Flow

I have ZERO interest in using ai for any part of my creative process, but Midi, now that's another story!  This fantastic program / instrument / tool is something I've wanted to learn for a long time.  I have had a block, just like music production in general for a looooong time, this just felt overwhelming, everything is so new, I felt intimidated.  But I finally got to setting it all up, HUGE thanks to my teacher and fantastic Audio Producer / Musician and mentor - Bob e Burnham!   There's so much to learn, but no matter, i am so happy to have broken through the initial barrier and have begun my fun musical explorations with MUSICAL INSTRUMENT DIGITAL INTERFACE
