Free improvisation

Free improvisation is playing without memory. One must disregard what one has played or how he has done it a second ago, three minutes ago, 10 hours ago and 5 years ago. Thank you Derek Bailey.

“The secret is just to say 'Yes!' and jump off from here. Then there is no problem. It means to be yourself, always yourself, without sticking to an old self.”
- Shunryu Suzuki

“The only thing one can do is follow himself . . . dig in, discover what he is, and who he is, and reveal himself.”
- Henry Miller

“Before you can know anything directly, non-verbally, you must know the knower. So far, you took the mind for the knower, but it is not so. The mind clogs you up with images and ideas, which leave scars in memory. You take remembering to be knowledge. True knowledge is ever fresh, new, unexpected. It wells up from within. When you know what you are, you also are what you know. Between knowing and being there is no gap.”
- Maharaj Nisargadatta

“Do not think that you are – be!
Don’t think about being – you are!”
- Sri Ramana Maharshi
