The paper considers various principles and approaches to the current times genre of free improvisation music. We analyzed literature, various interviews, and articles of practicing musicians and improvisation researchers to get the most complete picture of the processes and methods used in real time music creation. The work consists of an introduction, two parts, conclusions, and a list of references. The introduction refers to the relevance of the topic, the purpose of the research, the object, the tasks, and the methods used. In the first part, we analyze the origins of the free improvisation genre, its distinctive stylistic features and explore improvisation as a unique way of creating music. In the second chapter, we define the role of cognitive processes involved in free improvisation; also, we offer methods for their practice and development. We explore the functions of timing and characterize the types and methods of extended techniques application. We also define and explore the principles and techniques of interaction in solo and collective improvisational performances. The free improvisation is revealed in the work as a complex network which corresponds to life activities and is based on spontaneity and interactions with surrounding.
