Stephen Nachmanovitch Conversations with Musicians with Leah Roseman

Episode 16 Season 2 of my series; this is also available as a podcast, and the transcript will be published to this link as well: https://www.leahroseman.com/episodes/... Stephen Nachmanovitch is the author of both “Free Play” and more recently “The Art of Is” Yo Yo Ma wrote that “Stephen Nachmanovitch’sThe Art of Is is a philosophical meditation on living, living fully, living in the present. To the author, an improvisation is a co-creation that arises out of listening and mutual attentiveness, out of a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity. It is a product of the nervous system, bigger than the brain and bigger than the body; it is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, unprecedented and unrepeatable. Drawing from the wisdom of the ages,The Art of Is not only gives the reader an inside view of the states of mind that give rise to improvisation, it is also a celebration of the power of the human spirit, which — when exercised with love, immense patience, and discipline — is an antidote to hate.” This was an amazingly inspiring conversation, extremely wide-ranging, including some musical improvisation. I’ve included timestamps to help listeners navigate the many topics we touched on including many important artists, including Yehudi Menuhin, John Cage, William Blake, Herbert Zipper, Keith Johnstone, Ali Akbar Khan. photo credit: Dirk Dobíey Timestamps: 00:00 Intro to episode with Yo-Yo Ma quote and books “The Art of Is” and “Free Play” 01:46 World Music Menu 05:03 Violectra by David Bruce Johnson 09:43 sarangi, viola d’amore, sympathetic strings 13:10 work as a software programmer, sacred desk and secular desk 15:58 synesthesia, Visual Music Tone Painter, William Blake 18:19 Keith Johnstone and the intersections of art forms in improv: theatre, dance, music, 22:49 cooking 24:07 Yehudi Menuhin 26:47 Stephen re-learning the violin in a different way after injury 28:13 Indian music studies with Shashi Nayak and Ali Akbar Khan 29:49 “The Art of Is” and “Free Play” 30:52 Buddhism, Gregory Bateson, San Franciso Zen Center, Dorland Mountain Colony 37:53 William Blake 41:19 writing “The Art of Is” with Jack Nachmanovitch as editor 43:09 Herbert Zipper, documentary “Never Give Up” 49:38 parameters in improvisation 55:30 improvisation Leah Roseman on acoustic violin, Stephen Nachmanovitch on Violectra, waterphone and voice 01:03:23 body awareness, working with dancers 01:10:15 The judging specter 01:12:17 visual cortex interaction when listening 01:14:41 inspiration from nature, Stephen’s health problems and isolation, album “Hermitage of Thrushes” with David Rothenberg, collaborations with Ellen Burr, Anders Hagberg 01:21:13 “Finger Kissing” and the judging specter 01:27:15 John Cage 01:36:47 Stephen’s wife 01:39:29 Stephen’s advice
