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. 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. We explore the creativity of new music which uses the gesture as a starting point for composition.
