Free improvisation

As New improvisational music playing styles and shapes the music of a avant-garde improvisation reflective music are called, how they came under the influence of John Cage since the mid- sixties, especially in Europe and in part from the Jazz out.

Term

The term has often referred to only as Improvised Music, established for a variety of musical forms in which improvisation plays a central role: Free Jazz, border areas of new music and experimental rock music. In 1963, Larry Austin as the first improvisational group of New Music, the New Music Ensemble, which existed at the University of California, Davis until 1968. As a further improvisation ensembles they have 1964 Gruppo di Nuova Improvvisazione Consonanza and AMM. These emerged in the sixties improvisation groups, as well as the group Musica Elettronica Viva and founded by Vinko Globokar with Michel Portal New Phonic Art New Music returned spontaneity.

Meanwhile, the New improvisational music has almost completely removed from the aesthetics of jazz because of the subsequently developed gaming practices and aesthetic influences of electronic music of the nineties. The musicians make use of a very wide-ranging material is depleted of contemporary playing techniques and sound very subjective, individual treatments of instruments. Also, self-invented instruments (such as Michel Waisvisz or Hans Reichel ) play a certain role. Many contemporary composers have look for inspiration in the often very unconventional playing techniques and sound generations develop the improvisers over many years even. Specific types of new improvised music are real-time music, free improvisation music and Intuitive music. Partly are improvisational game conversations as " self -invention " ( Eddie Prévost ), " instant composing " ( Misha Mengelberg ) " Comprovisation " ( Markus Stockhausen, Burkhard Stangl, John Wolf Brennan, Richard Barrett and others) or " Deep Listening " ( Pauline Oliveros ) referred.
