Joy Against the Machine is a composition-improvisation framework for a variable number of players. On the screen, a number of coloured stripes with text will appear. Each player should follow a different stripe throughout the piece. The players have to follow their changing instructions as quickly as possible. However, they are free to interpret the instructions as they wish.

The composition already contains ~300 different instructions. However, one can use their own set of instructions or, in a future version, add their instructions to the existing ones.
