(hello jeff)

 "improvisation is
interesting in and of itself. there shall be no
result. but constant rervision."

(revision? or rearvision? i like rearvision)

could you please explain this,
the part with 'no result', i mean.


maybe improvisation is
you start with a theme and then you doodle away.
if this is so
you're right
and I do not improvise.

but i do something like spontaneous composition during my concert
(i use tapes - four at a time - that i play at random,
 i have to react to new sounds right away,
 continuously,
because i change a lot)
and the result is a good fullfilling performance,
as it is for me, so it is for the audience.

you also wrote:
"whereas improvisors just
dont care to explain anything to anyone,"

the running gag after my performance is
(when the space is intimate enough)
to ask if anybody has questions,
and this often leads to long explanations and stories from my side
and good questions from the public.

don't know about other performers.

greetings to you all,

rinus
