ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses upon the distinct perspectives of the performer and listener and how they are involved in producing one identity of the work through any reading of it. One can identify an improvisatory co-creator in indeterminate works with regard to their performance, where the structuring element of the performer can be relatively rigid, but the musical content is fairly indeterminate thanks to the work's notation. Though creative co-creatorship may sound tautological, it is important, and especially relevant for Prose Collection, as it indicates that the performer's choices and actions do not fall into the categories of either an improvisatory or a structuring co-creator. In some pieces from Prose Collection, the idea of using novel or unusual instruments is also at the centre of the work, but unlike Pit Music the multiplicity of instruments can add layers to a more sonically diverse and a more interactive performance situation.
