As a time-hungry and all-consuming hobby, chess was bound to find its way into the rest of what I do, so it became the focus of this generative and interactive music project. Chess-based music is not any kind of novel idea, but I felt I needed to materialise my own interpretation. I aimed for something that could convey what’s happening on the chess board in an explicit yet subtle way and that could be heard for a long time without getting too annoying.
