Here I set out to make something with a beat/groove and whimsically make my way through minor chords.

Keeping all the chords minor seems like an easy enough rule to follow, but letting my guard down once ended me up with a glaring major third over the bass note. I held it, finally made a minor chord then moved on!

I started with C minor to make it easy. The ending is odd, and it's because I wanted to make my way back to C to help give the piece some symmetry. Maybe it could loop also, I don't know - it's a habit to try to give improvisations as much reason to sound like the form is thought about - to minimize the rambling/wandering trap that can catch you anytime your concentration wanes.
