Interesting post! I love that moment when the listening mind completely looses track of "the music". When there suddenly are no rhythmic or tonal structures to be interpreted as "music". The tonal center, the key, is suddenly gone and no harmonies to be heard either. What happens then is that the human brain starts to invent a new focus for what you are hearing/playing. It's like the musical instinct is always creating order out of chaos. I tend to like music that stays close to that border. No matter if I'm a listener or improvising player - the same cool thing happens all over. This philosophy brings some interesting aspects to the scenario of accidently playing "the wrong note" ;-) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international) http://tinyurl.com/fauvm (podcast) http://www.myspace.com/looproom
