bright
 
Bright is a single take improvisation, done under sunlight streaming
through the window on to me on a Saturday morning.  I recorded it
on analog cassette, then later ported it to a digital environment where
I tried to clean up the audio as much as possible without losing
fidelity - and brightness!
 
As with Liquid, I tried a few more "crafted" takes of the song, but none
of them captured the original moment and connected performance of
the lo-fi cassette recording.  So I kept it.
 
I hope you can hear through the less-than-digital audio quality and
find the emotion of the moment which was captured.
