Each guest composer was given the task of sending me a totally
improvised solo piece, only restriction being the maximum time
established. No reference was given, unless the information that
subsequently the pieces would overlap randomly by me.
The result of this adventure confirms expectations that both trouble me for years:
To paraphrase the late magus Décio Pignatari,
“Only the new structure is new meaning. And new action.”
