<h3>Publications</h3>
<h4>Call for Papers: Leonardo Music Journal 20 (2010) -- Improvisation</h4>
<p class="mainText">Improvisation has been a critical component in many forms music around the
world throughout most of history and is an essential quality of human
intelligence that extends far beyond the borders of art. It remains, nonetheless, a
controversial subject in contemporary Western music: detested and denounced
by such titans as Pierre Boulez and John Cage, embraced with equal fervor by
others, and seriously misunderstood by many. For Volume 20 of the Leonardo
Music Journal we welcome papers on aspects of improvisation in music, art and
the general realm of decision-making -- especially texts addressing the interplay
of improvisation and technology. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/lmj/lmjcalls.html">Find out more</a></p>
