I almost stopped around ten seconds into this as the melody is so similar to one of my album improvisations. Not stopping made it more difficult to finish this too because I needed the rest of it to succeed in differentiating the whole from my other piece.
This is very dangerous to the improviser. Any disruption of the flow, and especially a preoccupation with some thought can be a killer. I think this is sub-par because of the above. But I wanted to keep it as it might be interesting to someone given the story here. I played the first four note phrase in Bb Major, then decided to play it a half step up when I recorded it, thus starting from B Major to make it more interesting. Once in, the other challenges put me over my limit and what we have here is a difficult minute for me.
They say it's good in a blog to share some deep personal stuff - people like that. This process of improvising can sound effortless or easy to do. Just a reminder it can be torturous also.
