21st century composition and improvisation share common issues in being two complementing practices in search of unknown semantic qualities. The notion of intellectual property, the standardization of musical notations and sound qualities and the veneration of identities are some of the central points, which concern scholarly and other musical activity.
Through presenting my own work, I will attempt to refer to ways of dealing with these issues through traditional routes of composing and improvising, but also through extra-musical pursuits. In the absence of a quest for typified individuality, the concept of musical failure is approached as a teleological secret and historiographical taboo
