Re: Total Improv



I play in a band (from 3-7 members) that gets together monthly and
does just that, total free improv for two sets on a day.  They tend to
average about an hour per set but we have gone as long as two hours
before.  There is much asynchronous looping that goes on and it is big
big fun.  So much so it has severely impeded my ability to play any
other kind of music (why would I rehearse something when its so
exciting to bring something brand new and never before heard into
being).

I'm on the verge of that same Mobius/Live combo but have yet to find
the time to really do it properly.

Till now you seriously considered yourself to be the body and to have a
form. That is the primal ignorance which is the root cause of all trouble.
