For years I was struggling to come up with a smart concept of blending
the two universes of improvisation and composition.
The old idea of improvising on chord structures derived from thematic
material still has value for many musicians (and listeners), but I think
that this generates a particular content that doesn't interest me too
much (anymore) in my own music making.
Although I still write "regular" tunes from time to time, I'm more involved
in my own graphic notation these days.
It's called Banners n' Bubbles, and I believe that this finally is a true
instant composition method, because it allows for the highest amount
of freedom on the musicians' side while incorporating significant
structural tools on the composer's side as well.
It does so, by the implementation of the idea of instant memory.
Shaped according to a specific set of rules, musical units are improvised
and memorized on the fly, and later reintroduced into the musical process
- sometimes modified, sometimes not.
Check out my Banners n' Bubbles Semantics and a few selected pieces.
