Gebote der Anarchie: Regeln erfinden – Regeln befolgen – Regeln brechen

Improvising in a group means making self-determined decisions at all times. Everyone involved in the process has their own rules of the game that have grown from experience - mostly unconsciously, but also consciously used - in order to contribute an individual part to the success of the resulting piece of music. In other words, the form and structure of a free improvisation emerge processually from the combination of individual voices that seem to follow hidden rules - but what are they?

With reference to Doris Kösterke's 'Commandments of Anarchy' (to be found on Carl Bergström-Nielsen's website(https://intuitivemusic.dk/iima/dk.htm), the question of how to deal with rules - whether as a loose agreement, a binding commitment or a hurdle to be overcome - can open up unlimited musical freedom in social agreement will be explored in a practical and discursive way.
