I was wondering that, if you figure out your improvs beforehand, or "write" them as you record. Probably a little of both? I'm sure the ones with video effects are more planned out.

Good evening, Nostr 🌙
Coming at you a little late today again. It’s been a busy one! Errands in town, got that fresh haircut, a stop at the luthier violin shop to get the violin checked out and adjusted, and even a new rehair on my bow (yes, they actually still use real horsehair 🐎🎻).
Now I’m back to practicing ahead of a full festival week of music. Here’s a whirlwind improv… intense, driving, like I’m running, I’m going places, I’m urgent, and giving it everything I’ve got. ⚡️
It’s fun to start these high energy improvisations… I’m just making it up as I go so it’s a challenge to just stay on track without face planting! 😆
Been enjoying doing this on Nostr!! 💜
Hope you’re all having a great Sunday ✨

It sort of depends, but in general I’m trying to capture something quickly and very much in the moment. So far I’ve noticed I’ll do between 1-5 “takes”. Sometimes it’s really one and done, so whatever happens happens! Sometimes I’ll do a few takes and I’ll catch an idea and try to develop it. Mostly I’m trying to get a take where I think it felt good to play, like “in the zone”, and that captured some kind of energy, mood, or expression. The ones with effects I usually have an “idea” of what I want to do ahead of time, but then improvise the takes in the same way. Then I’ll spend a little time afterwards editing whatever I have in the recordings. I would say that what I’m doing on Nostr is completely unique within my practise. All the composing I do professionally is always a long, drawn out, thought out process that takes months to compose a full piece. So I’m really enjoying the total spontaneity of capturing ideas and moods very quickly in recordings and posting them immediately. It’s almost like a daily musical journal entry! Thanks for the comment — I hope my answer wasn’t too long!!
