Jumping on the discussion (not a frequent poster, but I do follow), I must say I agree with Marco... but one question (kinda related, but at the same time isn't): what would consist, then, improvisation when using Pd? I mean, if you consider *free* improvisation the only thing I can think of, in

If the musical structure you are playing on is opened, also when the player is free to put whatever he likes, you can call it an improvisation. You don't need to be Coltrane to improvise, what the hell is that mentality - Pedro Oliveira he...@partidoalto.net a écrit : Jumping on the

Hi Patrice, I think you didn't get my point... I mentioned Coltrane as an example of a musician that extrapolated his own instrument from the 12-tone idea (particularly from *A Love Supreme* on). However, I think that open musical structures are a more complex subject to put it into the

IMHO, the TED clip was quite mediocre. As I'm a regular performer, ranging from jazz, to rock to contemporary computer music, I think the TED example does not in any way demonstrate the real possibilities with for example PD and gestural controllers. OTH, at times I've been accused of
