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)_/¯
