Abstract Rhythm in Time DigitalARTis a APPLEmusic and ARTvideo streaming service developed by Alan Silva mprovising Beings was a french free jazz label, 2010-2017. Founded by Julien Palomo. Sites: BandcampIn seven years of existence and around fifty references to its catalog, the Improvising Beings label proudly carries the banner of free music whose vitality makes more sense than ever. Overview of a house as welcoming as it is demanding. Improvising Beings was born in 2009 and the founding stone that seals its launch already contains all this dynamic. Nobusiko brings together the double bass of Benjamin Duboc and the trumpet of Itaru Oki . Or the meeting between two individuals with different cultures who, within the framework of the most unbridled improvisation, seek to define together a common ground and, free from all constraints, to articulate a common language. It is this idea that drives Julien Palomo , founder of the label. To provoke encounters and, at the same time, to pay homage to an underestimated part of the music of the 20th and 21st centuries. Because not only does Improvising Beings strive to give visibility to musicians little covered by the mainstream media, but it does so with a double requirement of radicality and integrity. Its mode of operation will not allow it to compete with large production companies, but it does not matter, people are at the center of concerns. Money to live and not live for money: Improvising Beings, an activist label. And to do this, what could be more relevant than placing the catalog under the double sponsorship of two historical figures of free music ? That, African-American, of Sonny Simmons and that, French, of François Tusques . The first, born in Louisiana, grew up in Oakland, United States. He plays in his time with Charles Mingus or Eric Dolphy and participates in the Prince Lasha quintet on the superb The Cry(1963, Contemporary Records). A rich but tortuous life, he knows the vertigo of the abyss but remains an uncompromising creator. Some call it the second knife in the history of jazz; the future will decide. More than museification, what interests Palomo, for the moment, is this life in the process of being lived, its complexities, its reversals and its unwavering obstinacy in moving forward. The meeting with Simmons (like the one with Duboc, who was the first to invite him to take the plunge to found the label) is decisive, a filial relationship links them. Between spirituality and politicization of the artistic act. And on the subject of politicization, François Tusques (born in 1938), another godfather, is certainly among the French musicians of his generation, the one who most used his art as a libertarian pavement thrown in the face of well-thinking. Deeply protesting, close to the Communists, he was the first to sign a free jazz record in France. Effectively entitled Free Jazz (alongside Michel Portal, Bernard Vitet, François Jeanneau, Charles Saudrais and Beb Guérin), if it does not necessarily lay all the bases for a free "à la française" (a conception which would be absurd in these terms). periods of the International), in any case it opens its doors. Tusques will sign his first album with Improvising Beings, Topolitologie , in 2010 (duet with drummer Noel McGhie): we are still talking about politics, but far from ideologies, a question of time, a question of places. For these familiar figures of the label, other references will follow: eight times for Tusques, only four times for Simmons but among them a box set contains eight pancakes recorded between 2006 and 2014. Always this idea of representing the present. A duo finally reunites them in 2011, Near The Oasis . Because Palomo is faithful, in friendship but also in an aesthetic of which he stays the course. Other personalities have the opportunity to express themselves at his home.
