I have recently been exploring jazz a little bit more
in depth, and have been trying to use a few of the
techniques in my own music by making arrangements of my
piano solos, etc. and even making my orchestrations and
ensembles have a little bit less of a formal feel. I am
still working on fully utilizing the things I am
finding and learning, so I plan on adding more
"Experiments" here in future.
These 'Experiments' are more musical textures and
sketches than musical compositions, per sa...(+)

most very short (30-50 sec.)
Well, I don't think we have the same definition of the word "jazz" ;) But I really enjoyed it and I would like to be able to tell you whether you wrote well for the Koto, the Guzheng and the Sitar, but I have to learn how to write for them first! And your piece made me want to study those instruments! Congrats!
↪ They are not necessarily 100% Jazz (obviously ;-), but at least have jazz influences. These are more experiments on how I can apply Jazz concepts to my own stylistic preferences. As for notating the Asian instruments, I am still forging new territory, and am learning techniques. I probably didn't do a very good job, but practice and progress are what I need . . .
