I came across this video of a "crazy" project quite by accident. I was actually looking for a video of a critique (very critical) of a software package which I've seen once or twice, and I knew the creator of that video had done more than one UI "review".
To find it I had to do a couple of searches, and eventually rediscovered the video, and the "name" of its creator - Tantacrul.
Turns out the guy is also a composer, and he and some others got involved in a project to write short pieces for orchstra, and then to get them rehearsed, performed and recorded - including film - within an absurdly short time.
Here is the video of the project - which is more about music than about user interfaces - https://youtu.be/oNef6TrquNw
I liked the notion that if you want to write a piece including saxophones, and it's a good idea to look for orchestras which are going to do a concert including a piece - such as Rhapsody in Blue - so that there will be players in the orchestra.
Maybe other orchestras might like to take up this idea of allowing new composers to write pieces and get them played.
Whether such short pieces are really worthwhile - I don't know - but it is interesting to see how complex they are, and also how much effort goes into writing them.
David Bruce seems to have been the glue to make this work and to hold it all together.
This is worth 30 or so minutes of anyone who is interested in creative work's [**] time.
[** that's an interesting use of apostrophe's - is it correct?]
