no, that is definitely not the case in this later
period of improvisational music that i am involved in:
most people have thought through their techniques.
while on the micro level small shifts are
undetermined, on the macro level idea is shaped by
previous parameter decisions. whether or not you can
call it free improvisation is debatable. but i like
what stephen had to say: the improvisation is not
recorded. it is always in the future or just coming
into the present -jg
