Impromptu by Alan Smithee (040)

In late November 2023, I conducted my first improvised live performance using only a Easel and a few effect pedals. This compilation serves as a sonic diary of the journey from the initial stages of exploration and practice leading up to the actual performance. I grappled with the challenge of maintaining momentum within a concise 15-minute timeframe, navigating the realms of improvisation.
Presented here are my (approximately) 9 x 15-minute practice sessions, encompassing a spectrum from ambient to utter madness.

All recordings were captured directly in stereo, with no overdubs or editing.
