The Practice of Musical Improvisation (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Over several years, Bertrand Denzler and Jean-Luc Guionnet have interviewed a variety of approximately 50 musicians about their practice of musical improvisation. All interviews were recorded, transcribed and carefully edited. Musicians include both the very experienced such as Sophie Agnel, Burkhard Beins, John Butcher, Rhodri Davies, Bill Dixon, Phil Durrant, Axel Dörner, Annette Krebs, Daunik Lazro, Radu Malfatti, Seijiro Murayama, Andrea Neumann, Jérôme Noetinger, Evan Parker and Eddie Prévost, as well as those newer to the field. Asked questions on topics such as the mental processes behind a collective improvisation, the importance of the human factor in improvisation, the strategies used and the way musical decisions are made, the interviewees highlight the habits and customs of a practice, as experienced by those who invent it on a daily basis. The collection recounts musicians' radically personal paths to draw an incomplete map of the blurred territory of contemporary improvised music.
