The experience of playing outdoors on the street and at the farmer's markets has put me in tune with the sounds and noise all around me. I am aware of the pitch in voices registering from the passing humanity. The crowd also gives me cues for tempo, mood and intensity. In this venue my music is both foreground and background making it subject to a vast barrage of sound that is always moving and pulsing like a river flow. I don't so much as perform as I do reflect the activity swirling about me. There is an audible heartbeat like the bottom bass line coming from my kick drum that keeps time with the surroundings. I am also aware of the motor tones from cars and motorcycles. Today I noted in particular a single engine plane directly above me. It gave off concentric circular sound waves. Unconsciously I struck the open A string of my guitar and harmonized with the flight engine which was also in the of key of A. Playing my one man band in an outside market environment especially in a non-concert improvisational format has opened my ears to the scales of music and vibrations coming from unusual sources all around me. The potential for colaboration with all creation is endless.
