I like doing these free funk type improvisations. Wait a sec!.....it's latin I think. Ha! I set out to do something funky and this just came out. I imagined something funkier, set the timer and played - the flavor was different than intended, at least a few milliseconds after I started. Then it's go with what's coming out and make something with it, then how is the end going to appear, especially with the timer running down.
If you're new to this mblog I make these daily improvisations very close to a perfect minute. I use a timer, so this adds a challenging element to say the least. It's a bit like telling someone to let your mind wander or daydream and let go, BUT, while you're lost in that watch the clock and snap out of it 60 seconds later. Of course, so they don't sound like they were cut off I have to form an ending somewhere in the 50's second range. I notice myself, after doing quite a number of these now, looking at the timer at the half way point with pretty good accuracy, like I'm making a A - B or A - A form. I don't think they sound like that though.
