A chessboard is wired to a computer via a serial/USB cable. When people play on the chessboard, the computer monitors their moves, and attempts to figure out the best possible response.

As the computer thinks, it produces music (by sending MIDI events to sampling software on the same computer). The music is (at the moment) a fairly literal translation of what the computer is thinking. The idea is to put the listener “inside the mind” of a chess computer.
