Voices from AI in Experimental Improvisation

Tomomi Adachi (JP), Andreas Dzialocha (DE), Marcello Lussana (IT)

Voices from AI in Experimental Improvisation is a project by Tomomi Adachi, Andreas Dzialocha and Marcello Lussana. They built an AI called “tomomibot” which learned Adachi’s voice and improvisation techniques using neural network algorithms. The performance raises questions about the logic and politics of computers in relation to human culture.

384

Valentina Cinquini (IT), Andrea Ummarino (IT), Federico Perinelli (IT), Raphael Schuster (AT), derkleinstePrinz (ES)

384 is a project that combines live music with interactive visual projections. The concept is built upon extemporization, using live improvisation – both musical and graphical. Nobody, not even the artists, can tell what is going to happen. Every performance is unique and unrepeatable. A tribute to being part of a unique, creative artistic experience.

Innen Außen

Wolfgang Dorninger (AT)

Creating a sound space in the interior that overcomes the physics of space is what drives me. To remodel natural sound spaces in the outdoor area, as well. Two completely different sound spaces collide violently in “Inside Outside”. Somewhere the sound space expands, elsewhere the flow is prevented.

Improvisation

Markus Poschner (DE), Rupert Huber (AT), Roberto Paci Dalò (IT)

ULTRACHUNK (unfortunately canceled)

Jennifer Walshe (IE), Memo Akten (TR)

What are the implications of using your voice to improvise with a neural network? Composer Jennifer Walshe and artist Memo Akten present ULTRACHUNK (2018), a neural network trained on a corpus of Walshe’s solo vocal improvisations. Here, Walshe wrangles with an artificially intelligent duet partner – one that reflects a distorted version of her own improvisatory language and individual voice.

Organ Music in the Field of Tension Between Inspiration, Compostition and Improvisation

Klaus Sonnleitner (AT)

Klaus Sonnleitner’s organ concert takes the audience from Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to French sound worlds and improvisations in the spirit of Anton Bruckner.

Orogenesis: Spacial Piano Improvisation Inspired by the Formation of Mountains

Rupert Huber (AT)

When two continental plates collide, one becomes subducted beneath the other. Rupert Huber´s piano improvisation represents this process by putting sound to the formation of an imaginary mountain.
