As an improv singer, I love your spirit and how it shines through music. 💗 Q: How much of your work is improvised?

Thank you! This song was completely improvised with one take. Usually if the piece is one long take, it is completely improvised. If the piece is multi-track, it's composed. I would mention how I created the piece in the newsletter. I have been raised in a very musical and culturally rich environment. There's endless tunes, songs from traditional, classical to folk in my memory bank. I never know what might trigger my memory back that I recall a song that I've known since childhood, but hadn't sung it for 20 years :) It happens all the time. That has given me a strong source of musical flavor. Years of rigorous training also gives me solid foundation technically. However, the number of songs and techniques I know still have their limits, and they are only tools. How/why to make choices is infinity.

Such a rich well of musical memory to draw from! That depth evokes much emotion… thank you.

A piece of calming lunchtime paradise before I get back to work; thank you. The birds outside love it too, to have some 'human' accompaniment.
