Live Improvisations

Live Improvisations is a 1992^[a] collaborative live album of improvised music by English experimental musicians Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson.^[7] It was recorded in May 1990 in England and was released on Woof Records in the United Kingdom and Megaphone Records in the United States.^[5]

Background

Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson's first performance together was when they supplied music for a dance recital in 1968 while they were students at Cambridge University. They had never played together before and Frith said "[Tim] had an alto sax, and I had my violin, and we just improvised this ghastly screaming noise for about half an hour."^[8] Surprised by their performance, and to keep the momentum going, Frith and Hodgkinson formed a band, which went on to become the English avant-rock group Henry Cow.^[8]
