Movement Flow

I use one-take improvisation mostly as my particular way of escaping the "too many options" blockage which for me is quite real. At many times in the past I would record a part several times and I couldn't decide which one is better; even worse, I would combine parts of each take and then never be happy with the result and ended being stuck in editing forever. In this way, I have come to be happy with the moment I am making music and instead of thinking "would this part have sounded better if I would have did another take?" I instead think "whatever I would have made that would have sounded better, I will make it in the next track" 
This song started with a rhythmic pizzicato string patch I built on the Korg Wavestate (the very first sound in the beginning of the piece). Using probability it created a nice, almost jazzy feel so piano and sustained strings were added in that feel. For the melody I again used GeoShred Tenor Sax and my electric guitar. I also layered another bass part with my electric bass. Drums are also generative, I remember in my last Weeklybeats I was saying I want to learn more about actually writing drum parts but it seems that still I haven't arrived at that stage yet time-wise.
