Nowhere, Sideshow, Thin Air
''Nowhere, Sideshow, Thin Air (Music for Dance Volume 6)'' is a studio album by English guitarist, composer and improvisor Fred Frith, and is the sixth of a series of Music for Dance albums he made. ''Nowhere, Sideshow, Thin Air'' consists of three commissions by three choreographers, each sharing, according to Frith, "a certain obsession with melodic deconstruction". "Nowhere" and "Sideshow" were written by Frith for violinist Carla Kihlstedt, and are performed by Frith, Kihlstedt and others. "Thin Air" features Frith, Hande Erdem (violin) and Theresa Wong (cello). Reception In a review for All About Jazz, John Kelman called the album a "genre-busting disc that catholically references a variety of styles, but ultimately transcends all of its sources." He noted that "even when he's being lyrical... Frith skews his music to the left of center; distinctly personal even when eminently hummable." Exposé Online's Peter Thelen praised "Thin Air," stating that although it "encompass ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Choreographer
Choreography is the art or practice of designing sequences of movements of physical bodies (or their depictions) in which motion or form or both are specified. ''Choreography'' may also refer to the design itself. A choreographer is one who creates choreographies by practising the art of choreography, a process known as choreographing. It most commonly refers to dance choreography. In dance, ''choreography'' may also refer to the design itself, which is sometimes expressed by means of dance notation.

Improvisation
Improvisation is the activity of making or doing something not planned beforehand, using whatever can be found. Improvisation in the performing arts is a very spontaneous performance without specific or scripted preparation. The skills of improvisation can apply to many different faculties, across all artistic, scientific, physical, cognitive, academic, and non-academic disciplines; see Applied improvisation.

Improvised weapons are often used by guerrillas, insurgents and criminals. Engineering Improvisation in engineering is to solve a problem with the tools and materials immediately at hand.
