"Michel Doneda, Leonel Kaplan and Diego Chamy performance at IMPA, La Fábrica Ciudad Cultural, on the 19th of November 2004 in Buenos Aires, Argentina

"First of all, the place was just like another musicean. The concert took place at this factory that was near the train, wich made it a terrific place for the concert. Having all those natural-mechanical sounds (the train, weird iron melting machines and some kind of water fall) combined with that factory architecture created a great musical atmosphere.

"Anyway, I think there were 15 or 20 of us in the audience, listening very closely. The music started very quitley and later on, as the time and trains passed by, it started to rise up louder. I think every musicean was closely listening to the other (there was always someone picking up something some other musicean left in the air) or the place (there was this great section in wich Kaplan started to play the train with his trumpet).

"Maybe it was that listening that made everything to sound so right. I mean, every single sound was followed by it's logical answer. It even ended up when it was absolutley right for it to end (any adition to what was played would have made it loose the charm). As someone has already said in here, improvisers (and people in general) should listen more. When that happens (the listening, I mean) it's a blast!", Francisco López, Improvised Music Yahoogroup
