During today’s class session we participated in the practice of musical improvisation as a group. The method was an exercise of keeping rhythm and timing within a circle based on a simple beat structure. This exercise allowed us to understand the importance of active listening within a musical structure, the fundamentals of time signatures, and the freedom to explore within given or created parameters. We were able to further elaborate on this practise with the addition of simple instruments which created an environment of something between harmony and chaos which is an inspiring place to be when creating music. We will explore this further as the weeks go on and I will apply these practises to my final project.
