The author describes her creation and use of HD videos that serve as projected scores for improvisatory musicians. Each video score provides pulsing color and visual elements to inspire the improvisation group in performance.

The author describes the use of real-time music notation software that allows laptop musicians and instrumental musicians to perform together in collaborative, interactive improvisation.

The author describes his work with the Melomics approach to music composition. Taking the melody as its main object of study, Melomics, mimicking biology, implements a simulated evolution of music composition using generative methods. The goal of this work is to model the full process of professional music composition using sophisticated strategies for algorithm design.

The authors present an experimental musical performance called Dance Jockey, wherein sounds are controlled by sensors on the dancer's body. These sensors manipulate music in real time by acquiring data about body actions and transmitting the information to a control unit that makes decisions and gives instructions to audio software. The system triggers a broad range of music events and maps them to sound effects and musical parameters such as pitch, loudness and rhythm.

The author discusses the inspiration and design of an as-yet-unrealized composition in which participants serve in the roles of composer, performer and consumer all at the same time. Provoked by the passage of a law restricting sharing and distribution of music files, he explores the potential for file sharing as a compositional process.

The author discusses his explorations with notation in three dimensions resulting in sculptural scores constructed of wood, metal and glass.
