Treatise (1967) by Cornelius Cardew

Yosuke Yamashita Trio-Arashi (Full Album)

It turns out that there is a 'poetics of chaos.' A chaotic system, far from the popular conception of the inside of a tornado — violent, uncontrollable, never-ending disaster — is constantly seeking stability. It's just like you and me! It wants peace and stability. It will settle into stasis and never get up from the easy chair again, if there are no new conditions introduced into it. A chaotic system starts from a discrete set of variables that determine where it will end up. Thing is, it doesn't reach the same outcome with each iteration. Launch it, and it may head not for Mars but straight into the sun, or into the nearest 7-11. Even with the same initial conditions, the trajectory cannot be predicted with certainty. 

Each day, most of us wake up with more or less the same initial conditions as the day before. But the day never ends up in the same place. It's chaos. 

Unlike the time-honored Eurologic practice of erecting a musical structure whose integrity and realness is then proved or disproved under analysis, chaotic instrument practice allows both performer and listener to come together in the activity of observing behavior as it unfolds.
