High-tech Slidings is a free jazz composition by Charlie. On this recording at about 1.55 the audience kindly helps us out by adding the sounds of their favourite animals to the piece.
If you live in Devon why not book the band to play at your party?
Don't let Hi-tech Slidings put you off; we don't usually play that kind of thing at parties, weddings etc.
email Charlie to find out more.
Free jazz in seven overlapping segue sections
1) low languid laborious quiet quirky trills
later trills are much wider
2) curtailed ascending scalic snippets
eventually accelerating
extending
looping and conglomerating.
always pianissimo with a late crescendo
3) running around high up in various pairs
don't go mad to start with
4) a loud low monotone [concert E or A ]
of considerable rhythmic interest
5) sporadic sounds of your favourite animals
otherwise pedal low G, D or E
6) pointilistic pianissimo staccatostratus
à la bouncing superball
as a prelude to rapid repeated descent
sempre pp
7) eventually arriving
proudly and triumphantly
at a delicate triad (concert D)
repeated diminuendo and crescendo
