[atlantaprog] Re: An Owlish Adventure on April 28, Are You Game?

Whoa, wait a minute.  I thought we were doing a medley of Britney Spears' 
greatest hits?!  Talk about bait and switch...

yours truly is looking for a bassist and drummer who are NOT afraid of improv 
to do, you guessed it, a set of improv music aiming at the cosmos and many 
points in between. I'll also be joined by Brian King on guitar and guitar 
synth. 
   
  The basic strategy is to create music in the moment that's NOT a predictable 
screaming stereotype free-jazz cacophony, but rather , embracing the idea of 
what Ornette Coleman called "Compositional Improvising", in other words 
improvising ideas that darn near sound composed and exploring them in real 
time.  Another aspect of this one-off thing is that for each "piece", each 
player will take a turn at generating the idea, while we as a group listen and 
develop it, it could be chaotic and it could be transcendent but NEVER 
predictable. 
   
  Whoooooooo's brave enough to  sign on and try this?
