I. Free, unbound; not fastened or fixed.
— Of physical things: loose, unattached, unconfined.
II. By extension, of artistic or musical practice:
An improvised, impromptu, or imaginatively free piece of music;
not bound by pre-written form, score, or predetermined structure, but shaped in the moment by invention and play.
Usage:
“The performance concluded with a laus—unplanned, fluid, and guided solely by the musicians’ listening.”
Etymology:
From Old Norse lauss, “free, released, unbound,” later developing figurative senses of openness and creative liberty.
