Disquiet Junto Project 0066: Communing with Nofi. @nofi

This week’s project is a tribute to the late Jeffrey Melton, the talented musician, best known on SoundCloud and Twitter as @nofi. Melton passed away a few days ago, on March 30, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he lived with his wife and seven-year-old son. He was 42. Melton had been involved with the Disquiet Junto since the very first Junto project, back in January 2012, and he early on volunteered to create a Twitter list of the handles of participating Junto members.
The theme of this project, the 66th in the weekly Disquiet Junto series, is “posthumous collaboration”: communing through music.
These are the steps:
Step 1: Download the following live session of Jeffrey Melton performing. It was recorded in June of last year. Warning: it’s fairly sizable, at over 350 MBs:
nofi.org/media/2012-06-15-Unwind-live-session.mp3
Step 2: The track is quite long, so select a segment of between 2 and 5 minutes. The best way to go about this might be to do it at random (just put the needle down, as it were), but of course feel free to listen at length and select a favorite section.
Step 3: Once you have your extracted segment, set the opening of the track to fade in.
Step 4: Set the ending of the track to cut out suddenly.
Step 5: Listen to it several times, to get to know it.
Step 6: Record yourself performing live along with the segment you have selected. Any instrumentation is fine. Just no voice. Be sure to play alone for approximately 10 seconds after Melton’s performance cuts off.

I selected a part of Nofi's mp3, and while listening to it on headphones, I improvised on piano in my livingroom. Recorded with an LS10 recorder with quite a distance from the piano.
