Improvised music is a genre defined by spontaneous composition, where musicians create and shape sound in real time without strict adherence to prewritten structures. Drawing from jazz, avant-garde, electronic, and experimental traditions, it thrives on unpredictability, dynamic interplay, and individual expression. Artists like Nels Cline and Otomo Yoshihide incorporate noise textures and unconventional techniques, while others, such as Dominik Wania and Andrew Rathbun, explore lyrical, harmonically rich improvisations. The genre embraces diverse instrumentation, from acoustic piano to electric guitar and modular synthesis, blending chaos and cohesion in unpredictable yet compelling ways.
