(FMI), a theory which understands improvisation as a nonlinear dynamic and complex system. The study provocatively argues that during an improvisation more actants are ?at work? than musicians alone: space, acoustics, instruments, audience, technicians, musical and socio-cultural backgrounds, technology, and the like all play a significant role. However, not all of these actants determine every improvisation to the same extent; some are more prominent and active than others in certain situations (periods, styles, cultures, as well as more singular circumstances). Therefore, the FMI theory will prove to be more than a theory dealing with improvisation ?in general?. Rather, FMI emphasizes singularity: each improvisation thus yields a different network of actants and interactions, a unique configuration or assembly. 606 $aTheory of music & musicology$2bicssc 610 $acomplexity theories 610 $anew materialism 610 $amusic philosophy 610 $amusic ecology 615 7$aTheory of music & musicology 700 $aCobussen$b Marcel$0953396 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220559003321 996 $aThe field of musical improvisation$92155396 997 $aUNINA
