【 摘 要 】

This is a folio of compositions that interferes with composition and improvisation inpractice and in theory. A resistance to theme and content is countered by proposing avery broad conception of form that brings into play anthropological and philosophicalexamples as well as a questioning of traditional musical forms. The pieces in generalpropose ways of composing and playing otherwise. The scores are interspersed withtexts which engender relationships and patterns of thought pertinent to the workingsof the pieces such that a critical position is articulated without resorting to longwindedargument. Audio recordings of the pieces are included at the rear of thedocument.
