ABSTRACT
Iannis Xenakis' works Duel and Strategie are two music games: sounds play the role of moves in a match where the players are the two orchestra conductors. They decide which part of the score is to be played in answer to the opposite conductor's choice, looking at a game matrix which contains the values of every couple of moves.Playing Music is an installation driven by software implementing the same logic as Duel.Each player makes his moves with simple physical actions, recognized by the software using a camera, and the score is projected on a screen so that the audience can easily understand the rules, after a few moves.
