- Tradition is a concept of - that improvisation has a tradition. And like all traditions - they're just a tradition. Traditions can expand, like painting, art, music. Tradition doesn't mean conservatism. It can be postmodernism too. You know, people have a tendency to say, "oh, what is traditional?" But in our 21st century, what could be in the tradition, you know what I'm saying? In the sense of being postmodern, of being part of a modern society. So I think that people confuse the word, like when they think, "oh yeah, in the tradition means way back..." But actually, what we tried to establish with In The Tradition, the word, established itself as an improvising tradition, which means that it has a very long route, goes back about forty thousand years. See, improvisation is quite old.
- The original music.
- Exactly.
- The first time we made sounds just for the thrill of hearing them...
- It was improvised. Exactly.
