In the fifth episode of our FutureFest podcast we ask what music is and what it will be.
We probably don't need more love songs: musician and producer Matthew Herbert talks to Pat Kane about the crisis of ideas and why technology needs to be a little less perfect.
Musicologist Adam Harper considers how music is more than just sound in a talk that involves ancient German bone-flutes.
And we hear from Chagall, a musician and producer making electronic music visual with the mi.mu data gloves. Watch our video of the 2015 festival featuring Chagall's performance with mi.mu gloves.
