Abstract: Abstract The theory of Musical gesture Gestures musical gestures in music is a new approach to musical shaping forces. We discuss its potential (pre)semiotic impact on the dynamics of future music beyond scores and other symbolic approaches. What is a gesture? This is a concept which everyone knows, but no one is able to define. In that way, it is similar to its counterpart, time. Time The concept of gesture is very important in art, philosophy, and communication. Formally, a gesture is a system of continuous curves connecting points in space and time. A curve that connects a gesture to another one is a Hypergesture hypergesture. We explore the Creativity creativity of new music which uses the gesture as a starting point for composition.
