Optimum Rains by Joel Kivelä
Improvisational compositions inspired by Film Noir and the good parts of mid-century America. Jazz Blues in 14-tone just intonation system generated from Aug 5th (25/16).
Light and dark rainy vibes, tunes about balance, some funny and some sad. Also a personal challenge to create some "happy" music for once.
Incidentally the full album measured exactly the length of my earlier
album Meditations: 3407 seconds. Googling this number resulted a surprise: The crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407, that killed two jazz musicians and Susan Wehle, the first female American Jewish Renewal Cantor, among others.
