Posted: Mon Jul 29, 2019 3:28 pm
Interpolation - The insertion or overlaying of utterly foreign material upon existing material wherein two (or more) independent musical characters coexist without affecting one another.
The material inserted, or interpolated, must remain unrelated to the present Flow. The Flow must likewise continue unaffected by the Interpolation to give the sense of "foreign" material inserted. If Interpolation changes the direction or nature of the Flow, it will function as Catalyst, and, if dense enough, Sound Mass. Interpolation also accounts for the not uncommon situation in which two or more improvisers are playing independently, with little or no apparent regard for one another, creating the situation in which relational tendencies may be intentionally ignored; emphasis is placed on Linear Functioning.
