The world of competitive musicianship would actually make a really great episode for one of you podcasters. This is a sporting area I've been hearing about my entire life but know almost nothing about it. And I don't think many people do. Even musicians, like myself.
I don't have access to contests, and would be no where near good enough to join, but the recording idea is one I'm pursuing. I think the composition you're doing is a kind of improvisation, just that you're remembering some of the ideas you come up with and reusing and expanding on them. Having done that, it's like you have another set of ideas you've explored that can turn up in your improvisation. If nothing else, it gives you the motivation to work hard on exploring the space, and honing it to be ready for an audience.
You could have filmed this gem in the style of ‘The Blair Witch Project’ and I would still consider it to be stellar content. Gentlemen, many thanks indeed.
It's such a pleasure doing these with Hayes. I think it's because his mind doesn't always go in the predictable directions. Sure makes it more fun to talk about a subject some folks find uninteresting because it contains the words "contest" or "competition" alongside the word "music" Believe me. I get it. Love ya Hayes. Keep it up man!.
Kind of feels like a waste of bandwidth watching this video on 1080p. Y'all got any more of dem pixels? :P Great message, though! And for anyone who doesn't have access to contests (or they're to daunting to attempt), a "light" version of that is online jams. *cough* insert shameless plug for The Bluegrass Coalition here *cough*. You get to plan and arrange your break in advance and once it's done, you get to compare yourself and draw inspiration from the rest of the participants. Helped me grow and advance my vocabulary a lot. PS: what's the tune that plays in the background from roughly 6:15 on? I'm so bad with names :D
