(the notion that there are boundaries to 'free' improvisation is
surely a misnomer, no? though I suspect that the explaination would be that
adherence to strict western metric rhythmic forms and melodic structures was
not expressing freedom but rather pedaling the western musical hedgemonic
paradigm or something... :o)
** well i agree with you - - it is a misnomer. i find it tedious when people feel the need to lok down on those that might integrate groove or tonality into their improvs. though, as a caveat, my opinion is that it can't really be only about those things because it becomes more of a "jam band" situation . . . semantics to be sure, but my 2 cents.
though the only time I've ever seen him live was
perhaps the most godawful cacophany that I've ever had the misfortune to be
in the same room as - none of his usual expressive weirdness, just three
blokes twatting about with a laptop, turntables and a guitar... I thought it
was just me until the review in the Wire said the same thing, and
anecdotally I heard that Derek wasn't mad keen on the evening either... :o)
** this is the nature of free improv, no? there is always the possibility of failure. at least that's what i like about it.
