Musique improvisée et questions politiques

Shortly after being introduced to improvised music, Frantz Loriot became interested in its discourse and its political dimension. Influenced by anarchist, anti-capitalist and postcolonial thinkers, he gradually developed his own approach to the practice of musical improvisation. His reflections led him to question the musician Bertrand Denzler. During this interview, the latter discusses various aspects of this practice, including the relationship between sounds and speech, the role of the non-idiomatic, the experience of ‘real time’, the place of the notions of freedom and equality, and that of institutions.

This book highlights the importance of a keen awareness of the creative act — an awareness that goes far beyond the musical realm to resonate with socio-political practices, viewed through the prism of anarchist thinking.
