Quite amazing for me as an improvisor to go through a shot piece of playing (the example above is only 2:36 mins) and examine each and every detail of what I’m doing. Often more than more thing concurrently; but also the most intriguing part on watching it back to make the notes was how much every single choice and potential choice (non and or considered and rejected choices if you like) are present in my body movements even if they never develop into sounds.
