While I had the house to myself for the weekend last week, I tried out the saxophone again. At this point, all I could do was blow in and make sounds. I could not figure out how the fingers worked. After some hours of bad sounds, something clicked and it started working. The bad part is I don't know why it worked. But I can make notes now and it's a lot more fun than when it was just squeeks and the 4 notes I could do.

The first part is just a play on something I've heard others do (The Residents, Beefheart...). Mine is not nearly as fun, and shows the short range of things I can do.

Second part is where the fun begins. After trying a few loops that were too crazy and off time, I ended up with this one. And instead of playing the sax while the roommates are here, I decided to stick with it. It has weird timing and inconstant patterns, so I had to do more simple things under/around it because I couldn't do much else.
