Improvisation and ancient philosophy

Ciekawiło mnie, co też porabia Steve Coleman i zajrzałem na strone, by z przyjemnoscia odnalezc sporo dobrej muzyki do sciagniecia. Jest np. The Tao of Mad Phat, nagrany w studio z publicznoscia w 1993, czy tez pozniejsze albumy nagrane z improwizujacymi raperami. Sprobuj np Science z albumu A Tale of 3 Cities zeby przekonac sie jak muzyka improwizujaca mieszała się z językiem.
Taki moze cytat z Wiki o muzyce Colemana: One of the primary methods that Coleman uses to create his music is linked to two concepts: Sacred Geometry (the use of shapes to symbolically express natural principles), and Energy (the potential for change and change itself in physical, metaphysical and psychic phenomena, including Life, Growth, etc.). Coleman uses various kinds of musical structures to symbolize the Sacred Geometry and specific kinds of musical movement to reference the various states of Energy. In any event the concept of Change seems to be central to his theory. He has stated that it is the Change between the various musical structures that is the important element, not the structures themselves. In this he disagrees with many musical theories currently being taught in institutions of higher learning. Coleman believes that it is through the Spontaneous Composition of forms that these ideas can be most readily expressed, regardless of external stylistic appearances. A frequent statement of his is “it is the movement that is important�.
