Interesting article and responses. I sometimes think that Sylvian does not really improvise, he still creates boundaries (like a sandbox) for improv to happen in. I think of The Kilowatt Hour and wonder what he would do if Fennesz decided to start playing rhythmically, or aggressively, something of a juxtoposition to the existing layered background. Would DS get into it? In some ways I don't think The Kilowatt Hour were genuinely improvising, the mood seems very reflective and linear throughout, like being on anti-depressants no real ups and downs just a constant at the same sort of level - not unpleasant but nothing at all surprising.
