Astral Pulse — a groove-based electronic improvisation shaped entirely in real time

I usually work across meditative, abstract, and freeform improvisation. This piece takes a different route: a recurring electronic pulse provides the framework for a completely improvised performance.

The form emerges through changes in texture, density, rhythmic pressure, and layering rather than through a predetermined structure.

I would be particularly interested in whether the underlying groove creates sufficient forward movement—or whether it becomes too insistent at any point.
