Second, it is an embodied practice: it depends on the particularities of our embodiment, including both the ‘traditional’ exteroceptive senses as well as the less-often considered interoceptive senses. First, musicking is a situated performative practice: it is done in a particular historical, cultural, geographical, and aesthetic milieu. Accomplished composer/performer/improviser Andrew Czink will focus on the action of performing music, particularly on improvising music without reference to a score at all: to consider music as a verb rather than a noun, in what Christopher Small has called ‘musicking.’ Czink will introduce his thought on his own performative musical practices and will perform the premier of a major new structured improvisation for solo piano, prepared specially for this event, entitled Torrent, Trickle.Ĭzink will outline four aspects of what he considers to be important to characterize what musicking is. What are we doing when we ‘do music?’ Traditional Western musical practices in the common practice era have concentrated on the idea of the ‘musical work’ as inscribed in a ‘score.’ Aspects of music that are difficult or impossible to notate have been marginalized as a result.
