Musical
Improvisation - "Musical improvisation
(also known as Musical Extemporization)
is the creative activity of immediate ("in the
moment") musical composition, which combines
performance with communication of emotions and
instrumental technique as well as
spontaneous response to other musicians.
[1]
Thus, musical
ideas in improvisation are
spontaneous, but may be based on chord changes
in Western music" |

Music
Composition
- "A piece of music exists in the form of a written
composition in
musical notation or as a single acoustic
event (a live performance or recorded track). If
composed before being
performed, music can be performed from memory, through written
musical notation,
or through a combination of both. Compositions comprise musical
elements,
which vary widely from person to person and
between cultures. Improvisation is the act of
composing during the performance, assembling
musical elements spontaneously." |
|
Aleatoric Music
- "Aleatoric music (also aleatory music or chance music; from
the Latin word alea, meaning "dice") is music in which some element of the composition
is left to chance,
and/or some primary element of a composed work's realization is left to
the determination of its performer(s). The term is most often
associated with procedures in
which the chance element involves a
relatively limited number of possibilities." |

Experimental
Music
- "a compositional tradition which arose in the
mid-twentieth century,
particularly in North America, and whose most famous and influential
exponent was John
Cage
(Grant 2003, 174). More loosely, the term "experimental" is used in
conjunction with genre names to describe music within specific genres
that pushes against their boundaries or definitions, or else whose
approach is a hybrid of disparate styles, or incorporates unorthodox,
new, distinctly unique ingredients" |

Improvisation

since the 1930s with the early works of John
Cage.[1][2] Source magazine
documents the
activities of a number of American groups in
the 1960s,[3] and in Montreal,
Canada, there were
two live electronic ensembles in the 1970s,
MetaMusic and Sonde.[4] This field has
expanded
rapidly with the use of powerful, inexpensive
laptop computers." |
|
|
Extended
Techniques
- "Composers often obtain unusual sounds or
instrumental timbres through
the use of non-traditional (or unconventional) instrumental techniques.
Examples of extended techniques include bowing under the bridge of a
string instrument or with two different bows, using key clicks on a
wind instrument, blowing and overblowing into a wind instrument without
a mouthpiece, or inserting object on top of the strings of a piano" |
|
Free
Improvisation

Interactive Music - "Recently there has
become an increasing trend away from detached linear scores
similar to those found in the linear narratives of film, in favor of advanced, carefully designed
audio, more tightly integrated with the
gameplay in today’s interactive entertainment titles. We are now at the stage where a
musical score is able to adapt in real-time to what is happening in a
game." |

Sitar In Jazz - "The history of the sitar in jazz, that is the fusion of the
sounds of Indian Classical music with Western jazz, dates back from the
late-1950s or early-1960s when musicians trained in Indian Classical
music such as Ravi
Shankar started collaborating
with jazz musicians such as Tony Scott and Bud
Shank. Later jazz recordings
containing sitar music include albums by Miles
Davis, John
Coltrane, Yusef
Lateef, Joe
Harriott (in collaboration with

Jazz Piano
Technique
- "Jazz chord voicings are one of the building blocks of
learning jazz
piano. Jazz piano playing uses all of the same chords found in Western
art music, such as major, minor, augmented, diminished, seventh,
diminished seventh, sixth, minor seventh, major seventh, sus 4, and so
on. The second skill of importance is learning how to play with a swing
rhythm. The next step is improvisation - making something up on the
spot; this takes tremendous skill and one has to know one's way around
the piano. Jazz piano is very culturized and was mainly devised in
American pubs and bars, and is a great swingy form of music." |
