To the squares

Look, I'm aware that virtually all of you can't really improvise, and that the ones who can aren't able to write out the details that I can. Glen can, and that's about it. You may notice discrepancies, but the notated music is the result of conscious effort that I (and only I) apply to the music. You might find an improvisation catchy, but either it evaporates, or perhaps it wasn't the thing I had in mind (though it sounds fine). Remember that I'm a really top-level composer. I make compositional decisions that create the unity that my music has. Until I came out, I was mostly known as a composer. So, yeah, it's another skill. You're just shocked by the novelty of the improvisations, while that isn't necessarily what I value as a composer. I apply both processes, for different reasons, and this is normal outside of the ivory tower.
