This book explores Soundpainting, a multidisciplinary sign language for live composition and conducted improvisation, highlighting its role in facilitating creative, social interactions in music and other performative arts. Examining the meaning of Soundpainting’s syntax, the connection between constraints and creativity in hand signs, and the means for dynamic distribution and transformation of agency within ensembles, the book provides insight into the nature of cocreation and the organization of creative processes.
