Apropos of dialogue, and evolving systems generally, from Henry Threadgill's Zooid: Form Through Independence

"The band's name, Zooid, is a term for independent organisms that work together in a colony, like coral. Threadgill says that, similar to the biological zooid, the music is about multiple independent voices coming together to create a whole."

""He isn't just interested in writing forms that will be played in a conventional way," Chinen says. "He actually wants to change the way that the music takes shape. The way that musicians respond to one another."
