Are you finding the welter of on-line performances out there a bit confusing? Alternative Classical have taken the strain out of listening by creating a new on-line tool, Concert Roulette, a classical jukebox, comprising over 200 high-quality YouTube videos curated by the team. Viewers are presented with a random performance – it could be renaissance choral music in a church or an experimental solo piece in a gallery – starting at the moment of the upbeat. They can choose to watch or click ‘another!’ until they find a video they want to watch, jumping across time, continents and performances.
The idea behind the website is to encourage people to discover music and it offers an easy way to explorie without needing any prior knowledge of the artform. Concert Roulette was inspired by
the highly-addictive Chat Roulette,
an online chat website that pairs
random users for webcam-based conversations!
