David Toop (b. 1949, UK)
Into the Maelstrom: Music, Improvisation and the Dream of Freedom: Before 1970, 2016

Another Amazon delivery yet to come and be read. But the reviews are great and the book is said to provide a good overview of improvisation in sound and other fine arts – and improvisation is quite central method in my explorative practice.

Anyway, I have even stronger ground to trust Toop – I’ve been lucky enough to participate in his improvisation workshop that was highly inspiring and liberating. It is based on experiences like that that I could end my last group crit with a spontaneous jam session responding to a photo series.
