If you listen to nature, all the sounds are done in a confident way. I”m trying to do that. Roscoe Mitchell
In these turbulent times, it may be worth reconsidering the few solutions offered by the art and know-how of improvisation, of the activity of improvisation. To do so, it may be necessary to start by deconstructing common sense; to start by taking improvisation not as an ”approximation” but as a method, a method of working collectively par excellence, for building situations in dialogue, in responsiveness and interactivity, in inclusiveness and, at the end, creativity. Improvisation is an articulated and articulatory knowledge, which coordinates orders and disorders more than it imposes an order.
Improvisation is the art of conversation, of listening to each other, through all the particular languages of the forces at play, and through a common language that is always in the making.
The air that comes out of a wind instrument, the one that comes out of the holes in a drum, the idea of this breath that expands, unravels, overlaps, becomes continuous, until it fades away. Michele Rabbia
Roscoe Mitchell and Michele Rabia are made for each other, because they”ve always made everything audible in their respective music and improvisations. You can hear everything on the percussion of one, the slightest contact, the slightest clash, the slightest impact, and meteor showers on the resonant skins, on the resonant metals. The other”s saxophones are like horns of plenty: the slightest breath, the slightest murmur, the slightest clamor, the scratches and welts. Together, they redefine the form and content of duets and dialogue, what exactly is a network connection and a disconnection; they rethink all forms of communication in music, from those that pass almost unnoticed to those that encompass and pierce us.
I always try to think of a vocabulary to match different musical situations. Roscoe Mitchell
