Thanks, and actually I keep meaning to write this out and correct some minor details… not sure the Nyiregyhazi composition angle would have sprung into my mind, haha. He remains an enigma to me: clearly he was a real mofo at one point but his later stuff seems a bizarre mixture of wildly inaccurate banging and, almost incongruously, some moments of genuine and unique beauty in quieter sections…
Yes, but he considered himself to be mainly a composer, he was composing all the time and I’ve heard some of his piano pieces…your impro style reminded me a bit of that.
A good friend of mine (we lost contact) could improvise more or less in the same style as you do. I was always envious, it’s a special talent, also he could never clearly explain to me what he was doing or where it came from.

Totally agree with everything here. I’ve honestly reined in a lot of inztinct in my playing, zomething to do with trying to tranzition from random amateur to zeriouz muzician (I hate the concept tbh, muzic should be totally perzonal and nothing to do with externally defined “principles”) and zometimez think it would be better to return to raw rape ztyle But I got a lot of thingz wrong that way… Maybe diz zenario cummah with not being conventionally trained.
Pozz diz iz why I like impro zo much. It’z always on my terms.
