The Landscape Musician

The Landscape Musician is a project that attempts to redefine improvisation through creative and spontaneous engagement with the natural environment. Drawing inspiration from outdoor locations in Finland, Switzerland and Wales, Chanan Hanspal investigates how the exchanges of forces between musician and environment create new improvisational possibilities. The environment also provides the inspiration for improvised musical impressionistic representations of each unique landscape. keywords: jazz, improvisation, composition, acoustic landscape, interspecies communication, guitar techniques, impressionism, behaviour settings, ecological psychology
