Improvisation is a very misterious process. It's very hard to actually capture it and divide preprogrammed elements from ones which are new, which are really spontaneous and are taken just from the moment and are the reaction to the things which happen. Improvisation is like a fight. There are many different techniques and combinations, there are things you can learn and practice or even master, but how you use them exactly depends on the partner in the end. And on your mood as well. I think improvisation is never "free". Whatever you do is a consequence of what you bring. But it's never the same either and it never repeats the past. So is it possible to develop? Yes it is. You just have to force yourself. At least a bit.

The creative process has been the most important part of my music life and probably of all the creative musicians (right?). It's actually the main reason why I DO music or at least one of the main ones. But I still think it's a complex thing. Not influenced by just one aspect of our wicked mind. Today I see two main "situations" where creativity is at it's best condition: 1. Free-minded, not rushed, ideas-flotation. No date, no target to be accomplished. 2. Pressure of date and aim, having a target, and money payed. Short term, condensed activity. Those two different and contrasting situations show how complex the process is. More to follow
