"This book arose due to the questions I have asked myself throughout several decades of professional activity in musical improvisation. It therefore came about through the practice and ideas produced by everyday contact with this way of making music. It is these questions which explain the presence of all else […] Often, when something interests us, the most difficult part is not finding answers, but rather clarifying just what it is we are asking ourselves.” (From the Introduction to ‘Improvisando’).
As a result of all those questions which came up during his years of experience in improvisation, as a master improviser and viewer of improvised performances, Matthews has produced an essay which is brief but filled with meaning about freestyle musical creation, in a text which speaks of music, but also about the act of improvising, as a dialogue between performer and audience, about silence as a form of expression and about the importance of the moment, of being in the “here and now.”
This essay will fascinate musicians, but also creators and artists in other fields, as well as anyone interested in creativity and artistic thought in general.
The book will be presented by the author himself, along with Álex Gámez, Director of the Störung Festival and the italian sound-artist SaffronKeira.
