From Thinking Music to Music Thinking

Christof Zürn talks about music thinking, the music thinking framework, and JAMMIN’ before SCORE and what this means in the context of co-creation in business. But, how does this sound? 

It sounds marvellous; we hear a lot of musical excerpts from the new (digital) album of MRZ – an ambient improvisation trio.

“To reward attention, but not so strict as to demand it” Brian Eno

We come together regularly to improvise in the triad of ambient, minimal and experimental. It goes like this: We first decide what instruments we will use, connect the electric instruments like guitar and synthesiser, adjust the microphones to record instruments like saxophone, shakuhachi, circle saw blades, or whatever we bring to the session, and then we go.

We do just one take, listen to it afterwards, decide if we are happy with it, and then keep it or drop it.

As an avid reader and listener of the podcast , the blog, the book, the jam cards, you can easily relate this process to the music thinking framework, where we first decide which instruments we choose and then start opening up, sensing, listening, understanding, being, becoming, showing and doing –  there is EMPATHY in the game, PERSONALITY and in our case JAMMIN’ before SCORE.
