teaching diary 05/11/08… or the lack of
I’m a little snowed under with another project and will unfortunately have to bow out of doing a full-scale teaching diary for the time being (you are, of course, welcome to write about the class in any form you want). I will leave you with a few links though.
- If you haven’t already, as discussed in today’s class and pointed to in my last post, have a listen to the two magicians.
- More on Anthony Braxton, Marilyn Crispell, Gerry Hemingway and Evan Parker.
- The musician who said improvisation was about finding an ending was Charles Hayward.
- The duet that Kevin mentioned by Marian Murray and myself was from the May 2008 Stet Lab (you’ll find this under the title ‘don’t eat the red acid!’).
Finally, if you’re looking for further listening material, I highly recommend destination OUT which posts rare and/or obscure recordings of improvised music(s). (They have, among other things, recently completed a Braxton blogathon.) Subscribe to their feed, download their mp3s, listen, study and learn… and have fun.
