Abstract
Abstract This article offers a new strategy for cognising musical indeterminacy based on Richard Sennett’s ‘five open forms for the city’, an intrinsically spatial way of thinking about what is ‘open’, and how it is open. Sennett’s five forms (‘synchronicity’, ‘punctuatedness’, ‘porosity’, ‘incompleteness’ and ‘multiplicity’) are explored individually as they might impact our understanding of openness and/in music, illuminated by examples from contemporary experimental music.
期刊介绍:
Leonardo was founded in 1968 in Paris by kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank Malina. Malina saw the need for a journal that would serve as an international channel of communication between artists, with emphasis on the writings of artists who use science and developing technologies in their work. Today, Leonardo is the leading journal for readers interested in the application of contemporary science and technology to the arts.
