Roger Dean : compositions for improvisers

Roger Dean : selected compositions for improvisers

These are ‘referents’ (skeletal bases) for improvisation, 'comprovisations' in the US terminology. Some (such as #1-7) are within the jazz idiom, and use repetitive rhythmic and harmonic forms. Others, such as 8-14, are not specific to the jazz idiom, but provide detailed stimuli, such as defined motivic material, melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and otherwise, for group improvisation. Many, such as 15, 19 and others, suggest if not require that improvisers exploit idiomatic proficiency within jazz (or other genre), but then find new ways to break out of (lyse) those bounds, and yet be able to return within them cohesively. 21 is a series of process descriptions which imply musical, mutually interactive and structural processes which most improvisers find intriguing, perhaps perturbing, but usually stimulating. By the time of #53, I had begun to provide referents not only for musicians, but also for dancers, and for mutual interaction between sound, image, movement and other media; and to find new ways of articulating and stimulating these interactions. Later works, such as #58-61, exploit radio as a vehicle for such interactions between sound and verbal text, the latter used both as literary and sonic component. Subsequent works often develop the computer interactive large scale controlled and unpredictable processes, networked or otherwise.
