in enchanting language; humanising the creative use of machine
instructions, reminding us that with software code, as with any other
human tool, it’s what you do with it that counts." Ollie Bown,

ROGER DEAN joins us from Sydney to bring together live algorithms with
the acoustic piano, celebrating unpredictability between musical
relations with people and machines. Improvisation is core to his work,
and ranges from free (e.g. with Derek Bailey, Evan Parker) to more
heavily pre-structured (e.g. with Graham Collier and austraLYSIS).
