About this exposition

This research delves into the development of a personal method aimed at enhancing creativity and exploring vocal possibilities in improvisational practice. The methodology involves an exploration of existing free improvisation methods, with a focus on three distinct approaches: Tabula Rasa by Stefano Battaglia, Game Pieces by John Zorn and Conduction by Butch Morris. It incorporates elements of zeroing, unconventional musical notation, structured limitations, clarity and openness of directions, and focus on basic musical parameters. The creation process involves composing a series of exercises aimed at isolating and practicing individual musical parameters. These exercises, initially explored solo, are later adapted for duo and trio to foster interplay and collaboration. By documenting and analyzing these performances, insights are gained into the effectiveness of the method in enhancing creativity, improving communication and developing one's artistic voice, providing a structured but flexible framework for improvisation. This research offers a practical and personalized approach to creative exploration. By focusing on process, clarity and collaboration, it enables people to cultivate their artistic identity and push the boundaries of improvisational practice. It encourages deep exploration of musical parameters, fostering a rich vocabulary and facilitating spontaneous expression. Furthermore, the research shows how the method of “free parametric improvisation” increases confidence among the participants, as well as an increased awareness and a sense of liberation.
