The Loop Man # 16 (3+3+2+2+2+2+2)

This pattern is less complex than the previous one. It reminded René van Commenée of a certain rhythm in rock music.

To play the loop steadily with the left hand and improvise with the right asks for a lot of discipline and activity of the controlling mind. However, the endless repetitions may result in a different state of mind (trance?) with less control, which in its turn can lead to new, improvisatory figures. This is true improvisation: freedom coming out of discipline.
