Meanwhile, RESISTOR is continuing to get better at improvising. We're getting more adept at our chord change visual aid (which is a large printout of a piano keyboard octave on the floor between myself and Fran. Fran and I point to that drawing with our feet, so we know how to improvise chords on the fly without yelling, "G!" "What, C?" "No, G!!!"), and we're in discussions about how to expand our foot pointing methods to include signals for major vs minor chords. We're also trying to figure out how to call out time sigature changes on the fly as well. We've been recording our "jams" recently, and some of them are turning out really well. So, it's conceivable that we'll eventually merge progressive rock with its many time signature and chord changes, with the free-flowing world of jam bands, where every time we turn on our amps the music turns out different.
