Chance and Choice

Jennifer Lucy Allan explores the work of musicians who opt to let go of their creative control. Expect chance operations, aeolian harps and collaborations with AI!

Jennifer Lucy Allan explores the work of musicians who opt to let go of their creative control. What new sounds and freedoms can ceding the artistic reins bring? The playlist includes an iteration of John Cage's famous chance operations, the sound of wind-strummed aeolian harps and the algorithmic computer music of UK artist Mark Fell. Plus we hear from Mat Schulz, co-founder of Unsound in Krakow, about how it was to share curatorial duties with an Artificially Intelligent Artistic Director (AIAD) at this year's festival.
