“A life unfolds” - Intro
Here’s a bit about the intro to “A life unfolds”. Be sure to check out the solo piece transcribed by
Philippe Canovas too.
“A Life Unfolds ” first appeared on the “The next step” recording from 2001 and then again on the
live recording “The Remedy - Live at the Village Vanguard”. The introductions on these two
versions are very different from each other. We’re going to be looking at the version from “The
Remedy - Live at the Village Vanguard”.
The intro is based on an improvisation with triads, starting off by moving though the cycle of fifths.
Patrick Allers send me the transcription you see below.

As you can see Kurt moves as little as possible to get to the next chord inversion. After this first
part Kurt pretty much just plays with triads for the next 2 minutes. Back in 2005 when I heard Kurt
at a masterclass in Denmark, he talked about the intro.
I usually play an introduction to this tune and I think of it totally separately as its
own little piece. I feel very free to do anything that strikes me at the moment, but
lately I’ve been working with these open triads. I’ve been really fascinated with the
cycle of fifths over the last year. One thing that really intrigues me about the cycle
of fifths is that you can move through it in ways that, kind of, makes it sound like
you’re not really changing. And yet, you can move very far away from where you
started.
If you go from G to C, then you’re making G kind of a dominant to C. And if you have
a G dominant, you have an F triad over G.
When Kurt lands on C, he then does the same thing to move to F using Bb and C triads. So basically
he’s improvising over V-IV-I where I becomes the dominant in the new “key”. I've created the image
below to illustration what's happening.
