Listen to "Room 114"
Theo Jörgensmann is a German clarinetist/composer who poses the question "What's next?". In his article entitled "A Few Thoughts on Jazz Improvisation" he approaches the construction of musical ideas from a scientific and philosophical standpoint.
In his article, he notes some of the the hindrances to the advancement of improvised music:
"The sheer quantity of materials and forms currently at our disposal leads to an overly crowded sound space whose channels of communication are reduced to a number of pre-set and mass-produced formulas."
One of the "massed produced formulas" that he is eluding to is the organization of rhythym into specific meters.
He suggests that music "will be liberated once it abolishes its subservience to the duality of rhythm and meter. (Music of the future?)"
