Since September 2004 the workshop has continued to meet at<br \/>\nthe Welsh Chapel, Southwark Bridge Road, London, England. Since its<br \/>\ninception the workshop has engaged over 400 musical questers<br \/>\nrepresenting over twenty different nationalities. These occasions<br \/>\nenable Pr\u00e9vost to engage with a younger generation of musicians. After<br \/>\nfour decades of intensive improvising Pr\u00e9vost&#8217;s exploratory spirit is<br \/>\nundiminished.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Music ever afresh is needed to renew creative life-forces and<br \/>\nreaffirm the inexhaustible potential of human existence.&#8221;\u00a0 EP: No<br \/>\nSound Is Innocent Copula 1995<\/p>\n<p>In 1965, along with tenor saxophonist Lou Gare, bassist Lawrence<br \/>\nSheaff and guitarist Keith Rowe, Pr\u00e9vost made a radical break with<br \/>\njazz, a music that had inspired these English musicians but couldn&#8217;t<br \/>\naccommodate their rapidly expanding aesthetic concerns. Their<br \/>\ndedicated inquiry into the terms of spontaneous creativity led them to<br \/>\nreinvent music as a dialogue with the world beyond the limits of<br \/>\nconventional musical discourse. They formed AMM &#8212; soon to be joined by<br \/>\ndistinguished composer Cornelius Cardew &#8212; an improvisation ensemble<br \/>\nthat has exerted influence internationally across a wide range of<br \/>\nkinds of music, from contemporary composition to psychedelic rock,<br \/>\nambient soundscapes and industrial noise. During the late 1960s AMM<br \/>\noccasionally played on the same bill as Pink Floyd. In 1968 American<br \/>\ncomposer Christian Wolff spent his year in London as a member of AMM.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;AMM&#8217;s radical exploration of a whole new area of sound, the reactions<br \/>\nand contributions of each player to the developing situation and the<br \/>\nfeeling of sounds constantly altering and moving in different<br \/>\ndirections can be a uniquely revealing and exhilarating experience.&#8221;<br \/>\nMusical Times (UK)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m interested in engaging with the materials themselves and also<br \/>\nwith other people, as a way of discovering new responses in myself.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the way you find other places. Any creative act works towards<br \/>\nan otherness.&#8221;\u00a0 EP, The Wire 231, 2003<\/p>\n<p>In the course of AMM&#8217;s rigorous scrutiny of music&#8217;s internal and<br \/>\nexternal relations and of sound itself, Pr\u00e9vost revised his<br \/>\nunderstanding of the nature and potential of percussion. He bowed<br \/>\ncymbals, used drums as resonant amplifying &#8216;sound boxes&#8217;, incorporated<br \/>\n&#8216;found objects&#8217; into a growing battery of percussive elements that now<br \/>\nincludes gongs and a huge stringed contra-bass drum. He examined the<br \/>\nvery grain of the material at hand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a joy to hear him bow cymbals, hit his kit and bring forth<br \/>\nthunder from his beloved barrel drum, a home made instrument that<br \/>\ngives Pr\u00e9vost almost Harry Partch status.&#8221; The Wire (U.K.)<\/p>\n<p>At the same time Pr\u00e9vost has remained at home with the jazz drum kit<br \/>\nand those conventional techniques associated with it. Jazz has had a<br \/>\ndistinct referential role within several groups Pr\u00e9vost has been<br \/>\ninvolved with featuring Larry Stabbins and Veryan Weston and Marcio<br \/>\nMattos to his trio which began in the 1990s with Tom Chant and John<br \/>\nEdwards and to recent ensembles with saxophonists Evan Parker, Jason<br \/>\nYarde and John Butcher. [See CD series &#8216;Meetings with Remarkable<br \/>\nSaxophonists&#8217; Vols 1 to 4 on Matchless Recoridngs.]\n<p>&#8220;The Eddie Pr\u00e9vost Quartet possesses the great virtue of keeping a<br \/>\nfirm hold on traditional jazz essentials &#8211; rhythmic drive, strong<br \/>\nmelodic development, clearly developed improvisatory statements &#8211; at<br \/>\nthe same time as it seems to keep its permanently exploratory<br \/>\ndirection.&#8221; Jazz Forum (Poland)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His free drumming flows superbly making use of his formidable<br \/>\ntechnique. It&#8217;s as though there has never been an Elvin Jones or Max<br \/>\nRoach.&#8221;\u00a0 Melody Maker (UK)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To make a meta-music is to hypothesize, to test every sound.&#8221; EP, No<br \/>\nSound Is Innocent Copula 1995<\/p>\n<p>Pr\u00e9vost still performs regularly with AMM (which currently consists of<br \/>\npianist John Tilbury and himself &#8212; although the 2020 AMM CD\u00a0 Sounding<br \/>\nMusic extended membership to saxophonist John Butcher, cellist Ute<br \/>\nKanngeisser as well as resuming a musical relationship with Christian<br \/>\nWolff. The vital dynamic of all Pr\u00e9vost&#8217;s work is creative response to<br \/>\na specific context. His varied and ongoing discoveries within AMM, and<br \/>\nhis refinement of that group&#8217;s meta-musical philosophy, extend into<br \/>\nhis solo playing and into other diverse alignments, including\u00a0 Japan&#8217;s<br \/>\nOtomo Yoshihide and Sachiko M, Sakada (with the live electronics and<br \/>\ncomputers of Mattin and Rosy Parlane) or the trio with Jim O&#8217;Rourke<br \/>\nand Takehisa Kosugi that accompanied Merce Cunningham&#8217;s dance company<br \/>\nin 1998 and many other ensemble drawn mostly from workshop<br \/>\nparticipants.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pr\u00e9vost&#8217;s playing confirmed that he remains one of the subtlest and<br \/>\nmost intelligent of free drummers.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe Guardian (UK)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A drummer combining sensitivity and strength in equal quantities.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe Scotsman (UK)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Freely improvised extremity from Pr\u00e9vost, a drummer who knows the<br \/>\nvalue of silent spaces, but who also has a killer size Japanese Kodo-<br \/>\ntype skin beast for when he feels like brain-haemorrhaging volume<br \/>\nattacks.&#8221;What&#8217;s On Birmingham (UK)<\/p>\n<p>Pr\u00e9vost&#8217;s life as a musician has encompassed encounters with an<br \/>\nextraordinary range of instrumentalists including Evan Parker, Barry<br \/>\nGuy, Paul Rutherford, Tony Moore, Christian Wolff, Marilyn Crispell,<br \/>\nShiku Yanu, Veryan Weston, Howard Riley, Max Eastley, Phillip<br \/>\nWachsman, Akemi Kuniyoshi, John Edwards, Tom Chant, Dave Jackman&#8217;s<br \/>\n&#8216;Organum&#8217;, Yoshikazu Iwamoto, and Derek Bailey. As well as improvising<br \/>\nand playing free jazz Pr\u00e9vost has performed challenging experimental<br \/>\ncompositions, especially those of his former associate Cornelius<br \/>\nCardew. Pr\u00e9vost has also subsequently collaborated with other<br \/>\nrock-oriented groups, including GOD, Main and Sonic Boom&#8217;s<br \/>\n&#8216;Experimental Audio Research.&#8217; He has created music for experimental<br \/>\nfilmmakers &#8212; most notably Malcolm LeGrice, Vlasto Sudar and Gina<br \/>\nTornatore. He has played in most European countries including Russia,<br \/>\nLithuania and Turkey, in the USA, Canada and Japan and has convened<br \/>\nworkshops in Europe and America as well as in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of Britain\u00b9s most eloquent advocates of free music.&#8221; The Times (UK)<\/p>\n<p>In addition to making music Pr\u00e9vost lectures, writes, edits and<br \/>\npublishes. His writings about the aesthetic priority of improvisation<br \/>\nhave appeared in numerous arts and music magazines . His keynote<br \/>\naddress to the 1999 Colloquium (part of the Guleph Jazz Festival) was<br \/>\nreprinted in &#8216;The Other Side of Nowhere &#8212; jazz, improvisation, and<br \/>\ncommunities in dialogue&#8217; Ed. Daniel Fischlin and Aja Heble, Weslyan<br \/>\nUP, 2004.\u00a0 And more recently, he contributed a chapter to The Ashgate<br \/>\nResearch Companion to Experimental Music. From his home in Essex he<br \/>\nruns the estimable imprint Matchless Recordings and its print offshoot<br \/>\nCopula, which has published Pr\u00e9vost&#8217;s own books, No Sound Is Innocent<br \/>\n(1995), Minute Particulars (2004) and The First Concert&#8211; an adaptive<br \/>\nappraisal of a meta music (2011). He also edited an invaluable<br \/>\ncollection of essays, articles and statements in Cornelius Cardew A<br \/>\nReader (2006). The imprint Copula also published John Tilbury&#8217;s<br \/>\nbiography Cornelius Cardew a life unfinished (2008). He has also been<br \/>\nan active member of several organizations established to promote<br \/>\nimprovisation and creative music-making including the annual London<br \/>\nfestival of improvised and experimental music Freedom of the City.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Definition of self can only occur within voluntary limitations of<br \/>\nactivity and expression. To prevent these limitations from solidifying<br \/>\ninto self-deceiving patterns of conceit, they have to be placed with<br \/>\nconfident uncertainty into the extra-personal life of community, the<br \/>\nmusical collective but also other communities.&#8221; EP, No Sound Is<br \/>\nInnocent Copula 1995.<\/p>\n[Stewart Morgan made a film &#8212; Eddie Pr\u00e9vost&#8217;s Blood.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This film presents an opportunity to observe Eddie Pr\u00e9vost playing in<br \/>\nsolo and group situations, and hear him speak about his approach to<br \/>\nmusic-making, the particular tools of his craft, and the bloodline<br \/>\nthat stretches from his Huguenot ancestors through to his own working<br \/>\nclass origins in South East London.
