Abstract

This paper combines the critical framework of mobilities studies with a phenomenological approach to music experience as captured through metaphorical descriptions of vocal improvisation. When wandering is used metaphorically to describe an interior journey that cannot be expressed directly, it becomes synonymous with the conceptual act of wondering, with one often materialised or prompted by the other. The obvious implication of this coupling is that the described wandering can be literal or figurative. This movement, whether real or imagined, is typically open, drifting, and boundless, and often marked by 'expansiveness, prodigality, and improvisation' (Lawrence, 1994, p. 50).

Wandering, then, in both in its literal and figurative meaning, is a way of challenging what we might notice as movement (Cantrell, 2021), and by extension, what we might recognise as the cognitively embodied dimension of musical participation. The case of vocal improvisation has been conceptualised metaphorically as a 'an adventure', with ontological correspondences that demonstrate the abstract act of improvisation through embodied activities that are unusual, exciting, or dangerous (Forbes & Cantrell, 2021). The various meanings, metaphors, and ideologies attached to wandering can help us understand the complex entanglements of the body, mind, and environment in the jazz singer’s experiences of improvisation. This provides greater insight into the way that improvised musical participation is conceived, not only as social performance, but also in the performer’s mind. In other words, applied to musical improvisation, wandering is a new critical term that allows us to interrogate the inner creative life, and the felt experience of moving and being moved (Horrocks, 2020) through music.
