European Free Improvisation

European Free Improvisation is a musical style characterized by spontaneous creation without predetermined structures or conventions. Originating in Europe during the mid-20th century, it emphasizes individual expression, exploration of sound, and collective interaction among musicians. Rather than following traditional melodies or rhythms, performers listen and respond in real time, crafting unique, temporary compositions. This approach often values experimentation, unpredictability, and the breaking of musical boundaries, resulting in performances that are deeply personal and dynamic. It’s a form of artistic expression that focuses on improvisation as a means of discovering new sonic landscapes.
