    Peter Johnston 2011

    The London School Of Improvised Economics - Peter Johnston 2011 This excerpt from my dissertation was included in the reader for the course MUS 211: Music Cultures of the City at Ryerson University. Introduction The following reading is a reduction of a chapter from my dissertation, which is titled Fields of Production and Streams of Conscious: Negotiating the Musical and Social Practices of Improvised Music in London, England. The object of my research for this work was a group of musicians living in London who self-identified as improvisers, and who are part of a distinct music scene that emerged in the mid-1960s based on the idea of free improvisation. Most of this research was conducted between Sept 2006 and June 2007, during which time I lived in London and conducted interviews with both older individuals who were involved in the creation of this scene, and with younger improvisers who are building on the formative work of the previous generation. This chapter addresses the practical aspects of how improvised music is produced in London, and follows a more theoretical analysis in the previous chapters of why the music sounds like it does. Before moving on to the main content, it will be helpful to give a brief explanation of two of the key terms that occur throughout this chapter: “free improvisation” and the “improvised music field.” “Free improvisation” refers to the creation of musical performances without any pre- determined materials, such as form, tonality, melody, or rhythmic feel. This practice emerged out of developments in jazz in the late 1950s and early 1960s, particularly in the work of Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor, who began performing music without using the song-forms, harmonic progressions, and steady rhythms that characterized jazz until that time.

  • 2001 Inside the Narrative

    2001 Inside the Narrative

    John Butcher: inside the narrative by Rhodri Davies Published in Avant magazine (March 2001) When I was approached to write this article I worried over the risk of being too near the subject matter, having worked with Butcher in Chris Burn's Ensemble. But, since the personal factor is a vital part of music making, my hope is to shed light on Butcher's work that may not be obvious from the outside. Butcher began playing saxophone while studying physics at university. Since completing his doctorate in the early 80s he has been principally dedicated to improvisation, performing with many seminal groups including Derek Bailey's Company, Polwechsel and The Phil Minton Quartet. He also runs the highly regarded Acta label, which boasts discs of a consistently high quality. Among the catalogue is a gem of a recording - A New Distance by The Spontaneous Music Ensemble, which captures the group's last recorded concert. The late John Stevens loved Butcher's playing and invited him to join what became the final version of the SME in ’92. Butcher holds his time with Stevens in high esteem. He says, "John Stevens was a very strong character, an amazing proselytiser and arguer. With some people you know you're really playing for real. There's no casualness about it, it's a lifetime's activity. You don't just come out for the weekend to play a bit of music." Like Stevens, this seriousness of intent informs all of Butcher's performances, every concert pertaining a weighty importance. The first time I saw him play was in a duo with the pianist Veryan Weston at Dolly Fossets, Kentish Town in July Conway Hall, London, 1994 by Z.V.
  • 2018 Building a Jazz Library

    2018 Building a Jazz Library

    John Butcher By JOHN EYLES November 9, 2018 17,211 Views In the Building a Jazz Library article on Evan Parker, it says that seasoned Parker followers would describe him as the finest improvising saxophonist of his generation. Curiously, many of those same people would use exactly that phrase about John Butcher. The simple explanation for this apparent contradiction is that we are talking about two generations; Parker (born 1944) is a member of the "first generation of free improvisation" (along with Derek Bailey, Tony Oxley, John Stevens, Paul Rutherford, Barry Guy...) whereas Butcher (born 1954) is from the second generation (along with the similarly-aged Chris Burn, Phil Durrant, John Russell, Alan Wilkinson...) This is well illustrated by their discographies; Parker's first recording, Challenge (Eyemark), was released in 1966, while Butcher's first, Fonetiks (Bead)—a duo with Burn—came out in 1984. One reason for Butcher's first disc being released when he was slightly older is that after he had graduated with a B.Sc. in Physics from Surrey University he then studied for and obtained a doctorate in Theoretical Physics, before focussing on music. Although they are easy to tell apart, Butcher and Parker have a number of things in common; they both play tenor or soprano saxophone; they are the only saxophonists to have performed at Company Week, been a member of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble and the London Improvisers Orchestra, and been a guest player with AMM. In addition, each of them (alone or with others) has been responsible for setting up two independent record labels to release their music, in Parker's case Incus (1970 to 1985) and Psi (2001 onwards), in Butcher's case Acta (1988 to 2001) and Weight of Wax (2004 onwards).

The Secret Gardeners: An Ethnography of Improvised Music in Berlin (2012-13) Tom Arthurs PhD Music The University of Edinburgh 2015 Abstract This thesis addresses the aesthetics, ideologies and practicalities of contemporary European Improvised Music-making - this term referring to the tradition that emerged from 1960s American jazz and free jazz, and that remains, arguably, one of today's most misunderstood and under-represented musical genres. Using a multidisciplinary approach drawing on Grounded Theory, Ethnography and Social Network Analysis, and bounded by Berlin's cosmopolitan local scene of 2012-13, I define Improvised Music as a field of differing-yet-interconnected practices, and show how musicians and listeners conceived of and differentiated between these sub-styles, as well as how they discovered and learned to appreciate such a hidden, ‘difficult’ and idiosyncratic artform.

    Artofimprovisers Catalogue 01.Pdf

    In Art of Improvisers Group Show, at Cafe Oto’s Project Space, from 7 to 17 of May 2015, we presented the art and archives of some of the pioneers of free improvisation in London. The exhibition featured content by musicians and artists Terry Day (artwork), Evan Parker (collages), Steve Beresford (archives), George Khan (clothes), David Toop (archives), Max Eastley (installation), Gina Southgate (paintings), a film by Anne Bean (Taps) and extracts of the upcoming film Unpredictable by Blanca Regina. The programme included a talk with live painted timeline about the history of free improvisation in UK, with speakers Steve Beresford, Evan Parker and Terry Day. Gina Southgate and Blanca Regina were painting the timeline. There were also two workshops: Material Studies with Matthias Kispert and Blanca Regina and Techniques in playing balloons and making pipes with Terry Day. Visual arts and music are intimately connected. Many musicians are also visual artists: that is what caught our attention. We wanted to know more about it. We focussed on these connections and the archives and exhibition looked at how one practice feeds into the other. Free improvisation is present in everyday life, not just in the arts. In the exhibition we worked together, transforming the space and selecting the artwork, in many cases framing it. Its interesting how we and some of our ideas shift when the medium changes. We ourselves were transformed through the process of the encounter and from working with the artworks. The point was to get together and to discover more about each others’ practice, and the history and present day situation for free improvisation and art in London.
