There are four "real-time compositions" (to quote my friends in the Cincinnati Real-Time Composers) available for your listening pleasure via the Reverb Nation banner above.
Two of the improvisations are in a "classical" style on acoustic piano and two in an experimental/rock/IDM/noise style.
Comments are welcome.
Technically, the "classical" style is really more in the vein of expressionism. The core ideas and melodic memes might be thoroughly rooted in common practice tonality, but the development sections are expressionistic, with an occasional touch of the blues, which gives it a jazzy sound. I would not say that I am a jazz improviser in any sense, however.
If I had to categorize the experimental electronic improvisations, I would say they fit somewhat in an IDM-noise-prog rock hybrid world. They almost always involve tension between a standard 4/4 back beat and a more complex odd-numbered meter or a mix of odd-numbered meters, or maybe they are rhythmically rooted around polyrhythms.
