  Here I publish the plain video to
  the <a href="/posts/2010-08-04-alto-stick.html">recording I
  published yesterday</a>.
</p>

<p>
  This is for documentation purposes only. Enjoyment is just a
  possible side effect. Just look at my face in the video and you know
  what I mean. Music is serious business.

<p>
  I noticed just now that the chord progression follows rather closely
  that one in Mayday’s “天使”, a song I’m currently
  practising. I was asked to play one song on a wedding this Sunday
  and it will likely be 天使 in an unusual arrangement, blending some
  of the ideas that shine through the improvisation with the lyrics of
  that song. I’m expecting to have enough time on Saturday or Monday
  evening to record it and put it on display here.

  I offer this video for download in several formats. Choose one from
  the list below. When you do not want to care about
  codecs, <a href="http://videolan.org">download the free VLC
  player</a>. If you are on GNU/Linux <code>mplayer</code> will work
  fine, too.
