This Composer Created An Entire Week-Long Piece Specifically For People’s Living Rooms “Drawing from a bank of over 7,000 ‘musical shapes, textures and gestures,’ Michael Schumacher’s Living Room Pieces assembles sounds into 301 ‘modules,’ algorithmically arranged over seven ‘modes,’ one for each day.” – The Washington Post (MSN)​
