His book, Sync or Swarm: Improvising Music in a Complex Age, was published by Continuum in 2005 and won the Alan P. Merriam Prize in 2006 from the Society for Ethnomusicology as the most distinguished English-language book published during the previous year. It explores connections between improvisation and emerging scientific notions of chaos and complexity, ultimately offering us new ways of engaging with and shaping the discourse that surrounds music. Borgo approaches his topic from a systems perspective, as individual chapters expand outward in scope: from the perspective of a solo improviser (English saxophonist Evan Parker); to that of a group interacting in performance and over time (the Sam Rivers Trio); to the network dynamics that bind together performers, listeners, educators, and promoters into a musical community. Each chapter is paired with a different aspect of the emerging sciences, including perspectives from the study of embodied cognition, nonlinear dynamics, self-organizing systems, social networks, and situated and distributed learning.
