Instant 'composition' is the definition of improvisation. The word "instant" in front of the term "improvisation" is redundant. Kind of like happy joy.
He may have used the definition because it's possible they don't have a word for improvisation.
excellent point, using cycle of fourths and modulations, we can create chord progressions and melodies on the fly. This is truly mindblowing and I don't think enough people understand the power and beauty of this concept.
In jazz you can also reharmonize a tune meaning you create your own chords by using cycle of 4ths, tritone subs, diatonic moves, minor3rds, etc so essentially creating progressions on the fly.
Also the way he's explaining it, is that "improvisation" is generally thought of as playing over a set pre-written composition and what he will be doing is an "instant composition," of a whole tune, not just the melody or solo.
In musical terms, "improvisation" means to instantly compose, and this can be done with or without a set composition... He's just using it to clearly differentiate what he's about to do.
Inspirational - both your performance, and final comment. Just discovered you, and now - time to explore :)

I don't get the point why he calls it an instant 'composition', it looks more like instant improvisation.

you absolutely amazed me with the second 'three notes excersize'. a simple triad arpeggiated like that turned into a modern piece of music. amazing!
