I play (improvise) melodies in the left hand that change to the right hand and vice versa. I still try to let the right hand match with the other. I begin with only some few notes (at once) and add more (may be even horizontally) later.
I find it incredibly difficult to not lose one "system" of pattern while repeating it into the remaining pattern. Simple repetition in the other hand is easy, "repeating" (modulating?) the melody on an other step of the scale in improvisation is not so easy, especially "thinking" more lines at once... I wonder if the better "polyphonic"-improvisers are maybe women? However, simply in trying this idea, I perceive much of what reminds me of harmony. Of course this could be very individual in the style of playing. I'd like to know if playing latin patterns works with this idea in a "soundful" way. Sway!
Usually, I have some trouble to really dive into people; this is quite characteristically to be said about me. It looks good to be said in this blog, now, to add: "This is why I try to dive into music, instead". It can reflect and imitate those matters happening in people. It can stimulate (inner) dialogue(s) in manifold ways ...
