This is an excerpt from the first meeting of the Response Improvisation Summit, a collection of musicians in the Asheville area whose goal it is to interact with improvisational and compositional premises in order to engage in and develop a critical discourse through musical devices. Movements in a large, abstract score are divided into 2 minute sections in which groups of 2 to 3 performers interact to develop a musical grammar that corresponds with that of the arbitrary visual element.
