Awarded the 2006 Herb Alpert Foundation Award for music, Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris is recognized internationally as the principal theorist and practitioner in the evolution of CONDUCTION. Mr. Morris first considered the possibility and nature of Conduction in 1971 and has utilized its promise to explore new possibilities in the marriage of improvisation and composition for over 30 years.
Conduction (conducted interpretation/improvisation) is a vocabulary of ideographic signs and gestures activated to modify or construct a real-time musical arrangement or composition. Each sign and gesture transmits generative information for interpretation, and provides instantaneous possibilities for altering or initiating harmony, melody, rhythm, articulation, phrasing or form.

Improv:21 programs explore the art and practice of improvisation through a shifting (i.e. “improvised”) combination of onstage dialogue, musical demonstration and performance, and audience question-and-answer forum. Reasonably priced and easily accessible, these two-hour events are designed to inform, inspire, challenge, and enlighten a wide-ranging audience, from professional and amateur musicians to listeners of all backgrounds and levels of understanding.
This and all future Improv:21 events are co-sponsored by SFPALM in association with Other Minds.
All Improv:21 informances are at 7:00 pm and take place at:
