I Ching for Musicians

I Ching for Musicians & Everyone Else under the Sun offers a two-fold approach to the ancient classic, in the form of a conceptual piece and as a practical tool for musicians.

Everyone Else under the Sun questions the relationship between automated machines and organic bodies. It looks at the way in which human bodies may be machines in their own right and investigates the mechanical aspects of our movements. It looks into the question of consciousness’ effect on reality through the act of divination, by engaging in a relationship with electronic art.

In the video, I Ching for Musicians is presented as a practical tool, intended to stimulate creativity. Inspired by Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies, the idea is to provide alternatives for musicians stumped on where to go next in their work. The querent is invited to engage with this tool by adding their voice or instrument to the soundscape emanating from the gua, or hexagram.
