EinScream!: Possibilities of New Musical Ideas to Form a Community

要旨

This paper illustrates a place where plural individual participants with different cultural resources meet and communicate with each other to create improvisational music. The philosophy and methodology of improvisation in Music Therapy have already been discussed by M. Pavlicevic (1997, T. Wigram (2004), and others, but mainly from the framework of "how the music therapist can match to the music of the client." I would like to discuss the possibilities of coexistence of different values of music by introducing the notions implied in new music forms, such as Cobra, Shogi Composition, or D. Bailey's free improvisation, with video excerpts of my own clinical work. This paper is based on the idea that I presented at the 11th World Congress of Music Therapy 2005 held in Brisbane, Australia.
