The concept of indeterminacy is applied in many disciplines. Some examples include philosophy, literature, mathematics, physics, economics and others. However, I will be focusing on indeterminacy in music.

I then tried putting the rhythm in my hands only, and backing my focus up to encompass the entire ensemble. The concept of polyrhythm as intertwined parts creating a complex whole finally clicked. My perception of the astsiagbekor suddenly shifted from individual parts surrounded by unrelated noise

The live coding musical instrument “I dream of instruments obedient to my thought and which with their contribution of a whole new world of unsuspected sounds, will lend themselves to the exigencies of my inner rhythm” (Edgard Varèse 1937) Live coding engages with a new concept of musical instrument, and with it, engages also with new instrumental practices. Most live coding instruments consist of a laptop, speakers to hear the music and a projector, to display the code to the audience. These instruments

social aspects of robotic musicianship, which was defined as a “combination of musical, perceptual, and interaction skills with the capacity to produce… responses in a physical and visual manner.” The authors wrote about previous research, which included earlier robotic musicians (stringed instruments, wind instruments, other percussionists) and machine-musicianship development (such as tracking live soloists and changing musical inputs). They also discussed the various challenges they faced in creating
