more or less 1.3

more or less is an computer-driven realtime composition where the musicians do not reproduce parts of a fixed score. Instead of executing a pre-fabricated text from note sheets, they are viewing computer monitors which display random-generated playing instructions.

During the performance of the piece the musicians can make queries to their computers asking for playing instructions whenever they feel a necessity for it. Furthermore, a random-generated Haiku is created whenever a musician receives a new instruction from the computer.

This is a three-liner providing a puzzle which has to be "solved" by the musicians and which will influence the interpretation of the needed structure to a great extend.
