Referent
Introduction
Phil Morton has come to adopt the term used referential or a referent, or he proposes those active in free improvisation acknowledge this term maybe useful
Referential simply means the improviser is required to refer to an external referent, that maybe a document or idea that influences what the person does within the parameters of music.
This is an attempt by Phil Morton to bypass the binary world of free improvisation vs composition
