Creator's Hands (a Collaboration with Able Parris)

My last post was about collaboration among musicians. For this post, I wanted to feature a mini-series of collages on the theme of Creation from my friend Able Parris for a cross-medium collaboration. Able posted these two collages (along with links to several of his thematically related poems) on his excellent blog the other day, and suggested off-hand that I drum up a little ditty in response. This sounded like a lot of fun to me, as I'm always looking for a unique inspirational focus. I attempted to answer his visual collage with an "audio collage" of 3 basic elements, and I tried to avoid a straight rhythmic structure and chord form. After 2 late-night gigs and a rehearsal yesterday, this approach was a good fit for my morning mind-fog.

Thanks Able--I hope you dig it!
