So, Joel and I were discussing modes last night, especially as connected to medieval music and a possible future recording project. I happened to have my Zoom recorder to hand as we experimented with different modes, so I captured a couple of our study improvisations.
The present piece is in F# Phrygian, which it so happens a dulcimer tuned DAA with a capo at the 2nd fret is primed to play. Joel's playing accordion on this one, which led to a contemplation, as yet unresolved, over how best we might amplify accordion to work into the live show. We do live in Louisiana, luckily, so I'm guessing we can find some folks who have solved this problem already...
I shot the strange little film of bugs and flowers in my backyard earlier in the day.
