What is gamified music improvisation? Join Benedict and Andy on an auditory expedition without maps or safety nets; using violins, laptops, synthesizers and saxophones - they play, explore and right-click their way through sonic territory to the extreme frontiers of making music up as you go along. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Auki is a truly open source podcast….
Looking forward to some more exploration of the infinitiverse that is improvised music……Game on!!
Great Stuff!
A really interesting exploration of improvisation within music. Charasmatic presenters with some great musical improvisation skills get some really good jams going with guest musicians. I would love to hear what they manage to do with some even bigger names joining them.
