a burning question for musicians

How to induce uncertainty?  In most contexts, people try to reduce uncertainty, and establish ways of acting that make life go on in ways that conform to expectations. But in the creative moment, we embark into something uncertain! The paradox comes in how to intentionally organize (or better said to be available for) this very process that cannot (and should not) be fully organized? This tension plays out in different ways in different musical or performance cultures, and in relation to different modes of commercial expectations or economic exploitation (“the industry”). All this is not new. So a burning question: what sort of social science might contribute something meaningful to musicians today?
