This study comprises two components: a theoretical dissertation and an original musical composition. The dissertation, "Time-Consciousness and Form in Nonlinear Music," expounds an approach to analyzing certain music from the perspective of subjective time-consciousness. Specifically, it employs phenomenological constructs to examine the structure of nonlinear musical experience. Key concepts are demonstrated through analysis of the composition, entitled Flux, and several other works: Helmut Lachenmann's Dal Niente (Interieur III) and Pression, Gyorgy Ligeti's Fragment, Salvatore Sciarrino's Fifth Piano Sonata, and John Zorn's Road Runner . Chapter 1 investigates the relationship between music and subjective time-consciousness, asserting that certain musical passages evoke a unified act of consciousness in which perceived events remain simultaneously available for syntactic and semantic revision. This phenomenon, known as the "specious present," yields a sensation of indeterminacy and, in some cases, an enduring sense of present awareness. In Chapter 2 the latter sensation is defined as a phi-state (phi-state). Conditions under which the present can be made to endure are examined, and four factors contributing to the likelihood of phi-state emergence are established. Chapter 3 reconciles certain cognitive-scientific concepts with philosophical accounts of perception in order to devise a method for classifying phi-states, and Chapter 4 examines a variety of local-level temporal relationships among phi-states. Based on the assertion that each phi-state possesses its own temporality, it is determined that phi-states can emerge not only successively but also concurrently. Chapter 5 addresses large-scale relationships among phi-states through the concept of stratification, according to which perceived events are streamed into separate time strata. Finally, in Chapter 6, the theories and procedures postulated throughout Chapters 1--5 are applied in a structural analysis of the opening thirty-three measures of the original composition Flux. The entire score for Flux is included at the end of the document.
