Ned Rothenberg: Solo Improvisation In Bizarre Times
Click the play button to listen
Ned's first solo album in thirteen years, Looms & Legends (Pyroclastic Records), shows why he's been called America's most intimate composer and improviser. Ned's improvisations and compositions showcase his use of extended techniques such as circular breathing and multiphonics, while others tell stories through melody. He calls it music for an imaginary culture, sounds that feel indigenous to a place that doesn't exist yet.
Ned shared his views on the nature of experimental music, the role of art in society, the importance of personal artistic expression, and his interest in exploring what goes on between jazz musicians during the act of creation. And this summary barely scratches the surface.
