Russell 86-7: improvised work is "work that is made 'on the fly,' without undue premeditation. Rather than working out a model of how a piece will go, and then realising it, I may decide loosely on a simple process or a combination of roughly-defined ingredients, then try them out, see what happens, and build on the accidental results [...] These approaches are part of what I regard as a 'process-driven' or exploratory art form, with open-ended outcomes. This involves a setting-aside of the myth that I am 'in control' in favour of 'seeing what comes.' Part of this process is accepting the odd failure, or seeing when an apparent 'failure' is really just a successful outcome you just don't fully understand yet. These experiences are part of sharpening your understanding of both the creative and the listening processes."
