PUBLICATIONS

CALL FOR PAPERS: LEONARDO MUSIC JOURNAL 20 (2010) -- IMPROVISATION
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. Find out more
