London composer and multi-instrumentalist Jessica Roch releases 'Human Music: Live Improvisations I', a collection built from live performances on violin, synthesizers, vocals, pianos, vibraphone, pedals and electronics. Roch has presented the album as an explicit rejection of AI-generated music and a celebration of the imperfect decisions made by human performers in real time.
That intention shapes the project's appeal. These pieces are not designed to hide every breath, accident or moment of risk beneath endless editing. They preserve the physical act of creating music while the outcome remains uncertain. The album functions as both a musical release and an argument about what listeners value in an increasingly automated creative environment. Explore more experimental music coverage in our news index.
