DOI: 10.1076/jnmr.31.1.1.81050929-8215http://hdl.handle.net/10230/41881This paper exposes some topics and questions about music improvisation using computers that the author has considered during more than a decade of experience as a performer, composer, software designer and educator. After a quick review of several of his previous interactive music systems, some of those issues are then confronted in FMOL, a program initially designed as a tool for on-line collaborative composition that has been used by hundreds of on-line composers, and which is also being employed by the author in free-form audiovisual improvisation concerts.application/pdfeng© This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Journal of new music research on 2002, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1076/jnmr.31.1.1.8105info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1076/jnmr.31.1.1.8105info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
