I hate playing without a structure - unless there isn't an audience. I'm getting into recording my private jams of late and whilst there often are "good bits" in there, I would not be comfortable imposing that amount of essentially barren noodling on an audience. I prefer to condense my work for live performance, with some scope for improvisation. This may just be because I am not a natural improviser. It's more composition for me. > From: mark@grubmah.com > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Subject: Re: Composition & Improvisation (was Re: Terje Rypdal was ECM guitarists) > Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2009 13:02:17 -0700 > > Playing without a net is what I end up doing.
