Experimenting through Improvisation

👉 Improvisation in music can be a powerful tool for exploring the mind and soul. By tapping into one's creativity, expressing emotions, and connecting with others. Improvising musicians deepens my understanding of not just myself but also the world around me.

I have learned that improvisation in music is the act of creating and performing music spontaneously without a pre-determined script or score. So, in my case and I believe this rule is applied in general it involves using one's musical knowledge and skills to respond to the present moment and to create something new and unique.

Improvisation is challenging for several reasons. If, it requires a deep understanding of music theory and technique, as well as a level of skill and experience that enables the musician to create music in real-time, in my case great part comes from the self-awareness of my conscious and unconscious connection. Secondly, improvisation requires a certain level of risk-taking and vulnerability, as a music artist I found that is essentially putting myself on the spot and creating something at the moment that is completely original and unique without thinking about the acceptance or rejection of others. From this experiment, I also learned that improvisation requires a level of creativity and inspiration that can be difficult to summon on demand.

Despite these challenges, improvisation is now an important part of my musical ongoing experiment to better understand the brain and its surroundings. Because I'm also interested to understand how these patterns form in the sense to make such perfect sense. Let's see it this way, if music is an interesting form of energy, how and what makes we bring connect to that form of energy, and from where that form of energy comes? Not just from the conscious/unconscious or personal experiences, must be deeper than that I believe!

In the traditional understanding of what improvisation is, It allows musicians to express themselves in new and exciting ways, and it can lead to spontaneous moments of musical brilliance that can be truly transformative for both the performer and the audience. Additionally, improvisation is often used as a tool for musical education and exploration, as it can help musicians develop their musical vocabulary and deepen their understanding of the music they are playing.

From my experiment, I learned that improvisation in music is a powerful tool for exploring the mind and soul in several ways:

Firstly, improvisation allows me to tap into my intuition and creativity, which normally leads to a deeper understanding of myself and my emotional landscape. Because of the freedom and by letting go of preconceived ideas and expectations, I can explore new musical ideas and express myself in new and unexpected ways.

Secondly, improvisation in this case is a form of self-expression that allows me to communicate my thoughts and feelings through music.

In my work what I do, I use a high level of empathy and try to be the voice of other people and tell what other people the courage don't have to say.

Because through improvisation in music, one can express emotions and experiences that may be difficult to articulate through words alone. This tends to be a cathartic and transformative experience when processing and working through difficult emotions.

I like improvisation because it allows you to connect with others on a deeper level. By improvising together, musicians can create a musical dialogue that allows for a deeper level of communication and understanding. This can lead to feelings of connection, empathy, and community, which can be nourishing for the mind and soul. 👈
