In this series of videos, I talk about how I choose to improvise and the cognitive processes that I seem to go through to create my improvised performances. Think about it as "behind the scenes" footage that shows the creative process behind the improvising act.

The plan is to eventually cover as many improvisational styles as possible. Please leave comments and bring up ideas you'd like to see explored.

For specific examples of improvisations that I upload to this channel, look at the playlist page:

My plan is to release these discussions regularly but not on any specific schedule.
