Sabir Mateen: Freedom thru Written & Unwritten Music

Freedom thru Written & Unwritten Music

Showing that there can be freedom in written music (which I try to express in my music) and none sometimes in unwritten music (spontaneous) and how you can combine the two and make it all free.

-- Sabir Mateen

invitation to composers

If you have something different for musicians to play, &, even more importantly, if it's something that addresses how musicians might conceive & hear music differently, please contact patrick brennan at ideakitchenmusicmusic@gmail.com with your proposal.

"Composer" here means anybody who invents a way to generate music. This includes, alongside notated & head composition, methods & strategies for coordinating live composition (AKA improvising).

Idea Kitchen is an unfunded musician initiative for musicians & interested listeners to create one setting where musicians can share ideas & learn from each other, where compositional ideas get worked out in a public domain among a variety of personalities & dispositions. For listeners, this is about demystifying music & is especially oriented toward dispelling attitudes that creative & original musics are somehow "hard" to listen to.
