Mozart‘s "Waltz Dice Game"

Haus der Musik

Wolfgang A. Mozart developed a musical unit from a large number of short, individual melodies. In this random composition game, each face of the dice represents a short melody. By throwing the dice a number of times, the visitor is able to randomly "compose" a harmonious, coherent piece of music.
Technology: two special tables recognize melodies determined by the dice games being played on their surfaces by visitors: there are over 1.2 million possible melodies. A projection shows the visitors what they have "composed": both sound and image appear in real time.
