"The Dalai Lama’s advice for the New Millenium contains many useful thoughts for the improvising musician.
Take into account that love and great achievements involve great risk. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
There isn’t a “right” way or a “wrong” way to improvise. What we do comes from our own personal, musical, social and cultural history, and everyone has to negotiate the resulting listening space with self-respect, respect for others, and a sense of responsibility. What works today for me may not work for you tomorrow, and vice-versa, so we are constantly re-configuring, re-negotiating, re-learning and unlearning, and generally re-inventing ourselves and our instruments according to the context, the situation in which we find ourselves.

𝑨𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒕’𝒔 𝑩𝒊𝒐:
𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐡 is a composer, improviser and educator best known for the reinvention of the electric guitar that began with Guitar Solos in 1974. He learned his craft playing in rock bands—notably the iconic Henry Cow—and creating music in the recording studio. Fred’s compositions have been performed by ensembles ranging from BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Arditti Quartet to Hieronymus Firebrain and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Film music credits include Rivers and Tides and Tracing Light by Thomas Riedelsheimer, The Tango Lesson and The Party by Sally Potter, Werner Penzel’s Zen for Nothing, and the Oscar-nominated Last Day of Freedom, by Nomi Talisman and Dee Hibbert-Jones. As an improviser Fred has performed with key figures spanning several generations, including Núria Andorrà, Lotte Anker, Derek Bailey, Alvin Curran, Camille Émaille, Joëlle Léandre, George Lewis, Phil Minton, Ikue Mori, Butch Morris, Pauline Oliveros, and Susana Santos Silva. He is the subject of Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzel’s much loved film Step Across the Border.
