Description
Without a notated score, Artificial Life (2007) instead comprises a set of instructions for different groups of instruments (two pages per group) from an ensemble of eight or more players, guiding them through a complex and highly structured, yet in many ways open-ended improvisation: no conductor is required, and many dimensions of the performance, including duration and instrumentation, are up to the performers. Commissioned for the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra by the Scottish Arts Council, the work may be performed by musicians with any or no experience with musical improvisation.
