Creative practice in music, particularly in traditional concert
culture, is commonly understood in terms of a rather stark division
of labour between composer and performer. But this overlooks the
distributed and interactive nature of the creative processes on
which so much contemporary music depends. The incorporation of two
features-improvisation and collaboration-into much contemporary
music suggests that the received view of the relationship between
composition and performance requires reassessment. Improvisation
and collaborative working practices blur the
composition/performance divide and, in doing so, provide important
new perspectives on the forms of distributed creativity that play a
central part in much contemporary music. Distributed Creativity:
Collaboration and Improvisation in Contemporary Music explores the
different ways in which collaboration and improvisation enable and
constrain creative processes. Thirteen chapters and twelve shorter
Interventions offer a range of perspectives on distributed
creativity in music, on composer/performer collaborations and on
contemporary improvisation practices. The chapters provide
substantial discussions of a variety of conceptual frameworks and
particular projects, while the Interventions present more informal
contributions from a variety of practitioners (performers,
composers, improvisers), giving insights into the pleasures and
perils of working creatively in collaborative and improvised ways.
