BBC World Service - The Cultural Frontline, Innovation, Imagination and Will.i.am

Exploring stories where technology meets art

Can you make music through the power of Artificial Intelligence? The French scientist and composer Francois Pachet tells us how he is marrying algorithms with artistry to create new music.  

The musician Will.i.am and the futurist Brian David Johnson take us into the fantasy world of their new novel Wizards and Robots. 

We celebrate the legacy and the cultural influence of video game music with the pioneering composer Yuzo Koshiro. 

Plus we hear from the footballer Sam Mensiro on why the Swedish football team Östersund are hoping that a little bit of cultural study will lead to some cultured performances on the pitch. 

Presented by Tina Daheley.
