Extra Information Improv. Poly, as in polyrhythm. This improvised piece has no melody or harmony or meter or key. It is almost through-composed. It is free flowing, without any beat. Just some random fun sounds showing some unusual possibilities of each instrument. At times there seems to be a tonal center, but that is not important. I tried to avoid cliche sounds but actually used some to have a little fun with sound combinations, and with lots of silence.
