Re: Total Improv

[William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

    Regarding total improv, for live performance, I tend to travel the  
road of having a certain amount of pre planned strategies, and  
malleable composition forms that I'm constantly rearranging,  though   
I'll have points in a set where I have no preconception of what I will  
play other than perhaps the knowledge that I'm using a particular  
looping technique, or a particular instrument or tuning.   I've always  
approached improvisation from the mindset that I am trying to play  
thematically and compositionally,  so there are some self imposed  
restrictions, but also room for complete catharsis:-).  I'm definitely  
not the Eagles live :-)

Matthias ,feeling his absence,and  feeling remiss as I haven't reached  
out to Violet  since shortly after the Loopfest.
