In Latin, "non sequitur" means "it does not follow."
It denotes an abrupt, illogical, unexpected or absurd turn of a dialogue -
a sort of logical fallacy.
non Sequitur is a series of pieces for various gadgets (like punch-tape controlled music boxes, kalimbas or sound sculptures) and live-electronics which are side products of Karlheinz Essl's Sequitur cycle. Although the non Sequitur pieces are using a similar software as the Sequitur compositions, they are mainly based on improvisation and can only be played by Karlheinz Essl himself.
Eventually, some of those pieces have been transformed into precisely notated compositions, such as Pandora's Secret (for punch-tape controlled music box) or Sequitur XIV (for kalimba and live-electronics).
