Comprovisation

Sandeep Bhagwati introduces the term "comprovisation" through an essential distinction: "Every performance can be said to consist of two types of elements: those that stay more or less the same between different performances, and those that are unique to the context of this particular performance." The session welcomes contributions exploring the fixed-score/improvisation binome as a dialectic and/or as a continuum. The session will be coupled with a workshop and a concert at the Marseille conservatoire around Somax, an Ircam software representing over 10 years of research in AI-music.
