A-MINT is a metaphor for a sustainable future, where man and machines work together in perfect symbiosis to cross a frontier that man alone could not dare. A-MINT is a new kind of adaptive Artificial Music Intelligence, the first one of its kind capable of cracking the improvisation code of any musician in real time and improvising with him or her. It is a new organic and lively form of contemporary electronic music, creating music and video along with the execution, without any preset pattern, pitch or bpm. The futuristic real-time electronic orchestrations, enhanced by generative video projections, rewrite the rules of live electronic music, and plunge the audience into a unique experience, always different because of the impulses and interpretations of the Artificial Music Intelligence A-MINT, a trip into the unknown and unexplored territories and boundaries, made of new sounds, technology, images, energy , sweat, heart and soul.
A-MINT is the first artificial intelligence to enter conservatories and musical institutions as a proper instrument studied alongside the traditional ones. Braga is the first artificial music intelligence teacher with his masterclasses in Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome, University Pompeu Fabre in Barcelona and Conservatorium in Brussels.
