Computer Music Design and Research – IRCAM Workshop

Jérôme Nika (FR), Daniele Ghisi (IT)

Freitag, 6. September 2019, 11:30 - 13:00
Alle Termine werden in der Mitteleuropäischen Sommerzeit (MESZ / UTC+2) angegeben.
POSTCITY, AIxMusic Workshop Space

Der Musiker und Forscher Jérôme Nika (FR) präsentiert die generative Agents / Software-Instrumente DYCI2, die er in Zusammenarbeit mit IRCAM und in Interaktion mit erfahrenen Improvisatoren entwickelt. Die Agents bieten ein Kontinuum von Strategien, von der reinen Autonomie bis zur Metakomposition dank einer abstrakten „Szenario“-Struktur. In über 60 künstlerischen Aufführungen kamen diese Tools seit 2016 bereits zur Anwendung, insbesondere in Zusammenhang mit improvisierter Musik (Steve Lehman, Bernard Lubat, Benoît Delbecq, Rémi Fox) und zeitgenössischer Musik (Pascal Dusapin, Marta Gentilucci). Daniele Ghisi wird untersuchen, wie Maschinen lernen, Musik zu produzieren. Ein Konzeptalbum der generativen Musik, eine Sammlung musikalischer Monster, die Sample für Sample Deep Learning Generativ Models erforschen, inspiriert von Mary Shelleys Frankenstein und verwendet in Jean François Peyrets gleichnamigem theatralischem Stück.

Biografien:

Jérôme Nika (FR) 
Jérôme Nika is a computer music designer / musician, and a researcher in human-machine musical interaction. He graduated from the French Grandes Écoles Télécom ParisTech and ENSTA ParisTech. In addition, he studied acoustics, signal processing and computer science applied to music, and composition. He specialized in the applications of computer science and signal processing to digital creation and music through a PhD (Young Researcher Prize in Science and Music, 2015; Young Researcher Prize awarded by the French Association of Computer Music, 2016), and then as a researcher at Ircam. His research focuses on the introduction of authoring, composition, and control in human-computer music co-improvisation. This work led to numerous collaborations and musical productions, particularly in improvised music (Steve Lehman, Bernard Lubat, Benoît Delbecq, Rémi Fox) and contemporary music (Pascal Dusapin, Marta Gentilucci). In 2019, he moved from the role of researcher to that of independent computer music designer / musician / researcher, and worked on 3 projects: Lullaby Experience, an evolutive project by composer Pascal Dusapin, and two improvised music projects: Silver Lake Studies, in duo with Steve, and C’est Pour ça, in duo with Rémi Fox.In 2020 he will in residency at Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains.
