Study of musical improvisation has proven a significantly worthwhile topic of psychological and musicological research. This qualitative study asked: How do musicians experience sense of agency and state of mind while freely improvising? Twenty-four experts in free form music (Morris, 2012.  Perpetual frontier: The properties of free music . Riti) performed short free improvisations that were explored via semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis. Participants reported low sense of agency, minimal conscious thought, and decisions experienced as body-doing or action guided by intuition, as well as moments of increased agency. Frequent reports of focused present-moment awareness suggest parallels between improvisation and mindfulness.
