I'm so pleased to see this forum come back to life gain – with this thread. As some people know, my interest in the Concept (and I did get to it through "loving the music") is as a philosophy (not a system) which applies beyond sound. Volume 2, even if it's not released immediately, may ...

I just want to echo and really applaud 2 of Sandy's comments here: First the Derek Bailey book! It's one of the very few pieces of music literature dealing with the idea and breadth of improvisation as a concept. Also do check out Bailey's album Standards. People often find his music relatively &quo...
