Composer and drummer Constanzo has conceived a ground-breaking creative tool for communicating commands to musicians through digital devices. Using graphic, visual or written cues, new music is created instantaneously by improvisers, simply following the instructions appearing on screen in front of them as they play. Leading improvisers will perform music created using the system, including the world première of a work commissioned especially for mjf 2015 in collaboration with Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.
