solo cello improvisations

Solo cello improvisation, featuring classical/romantic styles pushed to logical conclusions (not pretty).

Lots of sounds you won't find in the vienna symphonic library. Including my blocked up nose.
Recorded in mono 24bit/48KHz using a close miked AKG C480B condenser microphone with CK61 (cardioid) capsule.

Speaking of Classical music, did you know that Baroque is another type of Classical Genre? I believe that you should make your next Cello improvisation that involves Baroque Styles, such as tuning down half a semi-tone, Non-Vibrato, Short 8th/16th notes, expression, etc. Please?!
Check out some of my violin sounds that have examples of Baroque playing. https://freesound.org/people/Cunningar0807/packs/20159/

Thank you, yes I composed this- although it's improvised (so this is the only documentation of it)

Beautiful Music. Someday, I will use it for a funeral scene in a movie that I will be creating. Again, did you compose this?
