PublicationStrategizing in improvising: A Routine Dynamics perspective on real-time pop music creation( 2022-06-20)In this paper, we study recurrent creation from a Routine Dynamics perspective, with a specific interest in the practice of "improvisation". In recent years, research on improvising in jazz has been translated into the study of organizational processes. In our study, we investigate the case of pop music creation, which allows to study the detailed dynamic of improvising as a highly routinized process. We identify five improvising routines: looping, varying, breaking, messing around, and editing, shaping the creation and production of individual songs and records, but also the strategic development of the band and the producer. Furthermore, we find that improvising is systematically valued and contextualized through strategizing activities, identifying three particular patterns: spotifying, mainstreaming, and distinguishing, which cumulatively enact improvising.Type: conference paper
