Mr Morton speculates this is a `hot topic` and that is why he has culled it and put it in writing.
This needs further feedback and research. The simple statement is, when the improviser presses the rocker, selects the action, it `may` bring cognitive, somatic, and aesthetic decision to the surface. Phil Morton speculates that this a developmental tool or outcome that is hard to replicate in a standard teaching environment: it is showing not telling, he speculates.for some improvisers, and if they are engaged in the piece, this act of managing the time, the ratio of tacet/freeplay, the physical act of pressing the `rockers` may bring to the surface aesthetic judgements and priorities, or sensitivites that may remain hidden during standard free improvisation pieces
The above (to become aware of our private decision making) may be of `interest` or pleasure sometimes it may bring displeasure. The clocks will/may disrupt private agendas of: `ownership` and linear development, for a solo experience and the group, and (groups within an ensemble). This disruption could be experienced as emotional, toxic and as a negative.
