Approaching musical actions

Abstract

So, an improvisation has been going on for some time, but its impetus is dying out, at first in a good way, all getting more quiet in a nice contrast to what has gone before, but soon, in fact now, we need a new idea, of course (inescapably) related to what we have been playing already, but one that will have a fresh effect and that can carry us into a fertile territory that will in some way complement what has gone before. I gather up into my mind and intuition some threads that have been woven into everything else so far, and form a tentative image of some new pattern to weave, and I act. The act is the public manifestation of my inner representation of my projection of the music we have played onto the screen of the future. The other musicians respond to this new musical context with their own representations, projections and actions, in a spreading web of new musical relations, represented individually and to some extent variously in each musician, and manifested publicly in our shared acoustic space, which serves as our blackboard - the space in which we communicate to each other. © 2009 Springer-Verlag.
