Personally, I've found one of the more stimulating ways of playing in recent times has been to kind of move outside the free improvised area and work with people who are probably improvisers but they have a particular way of working.

For me, Company is still the best way for me to work.

Younger players in this music often turn out to be middle aged; it is not a young music.

In fact its quite gratifying for me to see some of the people who really objected to this method of working now being quite so profligate in their use of it.

I like duos with percussionists. I like the songs that percussionists sing.

Diversity is its most consistent characteristic....The characteristics of freely improvised music are established only by the sonic-musical identity of the person or persons playing it.

Playing music is not really susceptible to theory much. Circumstances affect it so much.
