One night as Gene Quill was leaving the bandstand at Birdland, a young self-appointed critic accosted him. "All you're doing is playing just like Charlie Parker," he accused. Gene held out his saxophone. "Here," he said, "you play just like Charlie Parker!"

About me:

We are the Improvised Music Collective – five passionate lovers of improvised music in all its diversity. We hosted a weekly 90 minute radio program devoted to improvised music – NOW’S THE TIME – on CKCU-FM 93.1 (in the Ottawa region) and on www.ckcufm.com on the world wide web on Thursday nights from 8:30 to 10:00pm est. We played the best of improvised music from around the world and recorded over the last 100 years. The unifying force of this program was that we played the music we LOVE. We presented timely programming that reflected relevant activities in the world of improvised music (say, the death of a venerable giant of jazz, upcoming music festivals, etc.). The IMC endeavoured to present intelligent and entertaining programming which was both timeless and current. We pride ourselves on having delivered each week on our commitment to context, insightful commentary, artist interviews and documentaries that enrich the listening experience. Our boundaries were our imaginations. We reveled in “the sound of surprise”.

Any improvising artist/group/ensemble wishing to submit recordings to the Improvised Music Collective may send CDs to:

Improvised Music Collective

1622 Westbrook Avenue

Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

K9J 7V4

We'll acknowledge receipt of your recordings and notify you when we will play your music.

Who I'd like to meet:
"NOW'S THE TIME" SCHEDULE - 8:30 - 10:00PM EST. on CKCU-FM 93.1 or www.ckcufm.com....

AUGUST 27, 2009- the FINAL EDITION of Now's the Time... a special 2.5 hour program... join Andrew Forbes as he presents the fifth part of the Francois Carrier profile from 8:30 PM EST to roughly 10:00, followed by a final send-off featuring the Improvised Music Collective in its entirety. All five IMCers will be on hand to reminisce, spin music and gaze off into the future. Tune in.

New Fifty Foot Hose CD!



http://anthologyrecordings.com/release.asp?album=FOgIMVzZlkK

Recorded: live on March 16, 2003 at the Beta Lounge in San Francisco

In 1967, San Francisco’s Fifty Foot Hose were certainly one of the innovators of a sound that took Psychedelia to new heights and was captured on the band’s one record, Cauldron. They are a totally unique hybrid—on one hand pulsating bay area acid rock, on the other, fractured electronic freakery, becoming one whole cohesive being. The sci-fi-ish video game-like artwork hinted at the sounds within, as did the Limelight label’s pedigree for truly progressive sounds. Band leader, Cork Marcheschi, used homemade electronic devices to create crude and experimental soundscapes and instrumental compositions that were sprinkled throughout the album.

Often starting shows with a swelling rumble that exploded into the first song, they soon developed a rabid following on the SF scene, though there was the occasional totally wrong gig, like when a very-pregnant Nancy had to perform at a Catholic Girls’ school! Still, the group wowed the crowds, performing with greats like Chuck Berry and Fairport Convention.

Il collettivo Improvvisatore Involontario sbarca per la prima volta a Roma con il suo progetto più ingombrante e rumoroso. Naked Musicians si propone al pubblico romano in occasione del lancio del suo terzo capitolo discografico: l’album Emiliano Culastrisce. Questo disco costituisce l'opera inaugurale per il nuovo corso grafico dell'etichetta catanese (ma ormai sempre più cosmopolita, con oltre 30 membri tra Roma, Bologna, Venezia, Udine, Parigi e New York), ma non è sola: Improvvisatore Involontario esce contemporaneamente con 3 nuovi prodotti.

Anche gli altri 2, ossia La commissione D'Ascolto - l'infuocato duello piano/drums che costituisce l'esordio di  War Duo (Marcello Di Lorenzo e Francesco Cusa), e Origins of Body Hammer - altra opera battesimale per un mix di elettronica e improvvisazione con Carlo Natoli, Francesco Cusa ed Emiliano Cinquerrui - saranno presentati all'INIT in anteprima in questa serata d'eccezione.

 

 

Ingresso € 5

Ingresso +  T-shirt di Improvvisatore Involontario € 10.
