Call and Response i
This work explores jazz improvisation as a conversation between two musicians, conceptualised in response to a YouTube session between Alfa Mist and Yussef Dayes (keys and drums). Through abstracted typographic compositions, I attempt to visualise implicit and non-verbal methods of communication: the glances and gestures that create an almost telepathic connection between a pair while playing.
Building on the idea that improvisation is not random, rather an event of re-piecing what already exists, I present two rearranged instances of the same composition, as if individual and unreplicable performances.
