ISIM ... promoting performance, education, and research in improvised
music, and illuminating connections between musical improvisation and
creativity across fields.
Melding diverse cultures, ethnicities, disciplines, and ideas that shape
society at large, today’s musical world is increasingly characterized
by creative expressions that transcend conventional style categories.
Improvisation is a core aspect of this global
confluence of this eclectic musical activity. Initially used to describe
jazz and its offshoots, improvised music now encompasses a
broad spectrum of formats—from computer music and multi-media collaborations
to string quartets, bebop bands and multiethnic fusion.
