I truly wish I could understand this. For me, having no background in jazz, it sounds like the first 5 minutes of every band class ever. I know there is something for me to learn here. Can someone point me toward any source that could help me understand this better?
For me this kind of free jazz is like the end of a journey. So, maybe you cant start at the end. But maybe what led me there could lead you too. For me it was, on the one hand, herbie hancocks "crossings", miles davis "bitches brew", ornette colemans "the shape of jazz to come" and Eric Dolphys "out to lunch" and on the other hand classical composers like Gloria Coates, Bela Bartok or Arnold Schoenberg that opened up a new world for me. I think Lillingers "Grund" is a little bit easier, as it is slower and less chaotic (as I recall it).
I don't think trying to gaing an unferstading of this stuff is the way. Art doesn't have to express beauty all the time. And beauty doesn't have to always come from symetry and order. If this makes you feel confused or even uncomfortable, embrace the confusion and the awkwardness. Not every human emotion is nice or pleasurable. Once I accepted that, i started to find interesting things in the chaos. It is like watching the static on an old tv. It is mostly noise, but if you watch closely, there are certaing things you can hold on to. Even if they are ever changing, our orderly brains tries to super impose shapes and patterns and regions on the chaos to make sense of it.
this is brilliant - sonic magnetic interuptus stimuli-thank. were you guys sight reading?! 😂 seriously cool stuff going on here: I would like to use the track and one of my films!
