  Improv I - 050702 is the first of three extracts from the 28 minute+ improvisation captured by Guitar Circle of Chicago on July 02, 2005. The full performance was based on "group looping" and was performed with no planning or pre-defined framework. The recording environment was simple - a high quality omni-directional microphone was placed in the middle of the five person circle. The recording contains chair squeaks, traffic noise, and the occasional loud breathing of the performance team. This extract is the opening movement.

  Improv II - 050702 is the second, and longest, of the three extracts from the July 02, 2005 GCC recording. This represents roughly the middle of the full performance and the piece evolves significantly as it develops. Listen for the siren!

• Improv III - 050702.mp3
  Length: 2:46 Size: 2.60mb
  
  Improv III - 050702 is the third of the three extracts from the July 02, 2005 GCC recording and is the most delicate piece of the trio. This part was pulled from near the end of the full performance as it was naturally coming to its conclusion.
