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.
Vladislav Delay & AGF present Rakka
Antye Greie-Ripatti (DE), Vladislav Delay (FI)

The Wire described Vladislav Delay as “one of the most consistently creative artists working today.” Reinventing himself regularly, he takes electronic music where he pleases with a unique blend of depth and detail. His music is like a non-existing soundtrack for the underworld; murky, dark and constrained. Antye Greie-Ripatti (also known as AGF) is a music producer, sound artist & curator, poet, gender activist. Her artistic tools are language, sound, listening, voice, and communication which she expresses in mixed media. Since 2011, she is the organizer and co-founder of Hai Art in Hailuoto. Antye campaigns for diversity in the arts with the women’s collective female:pressure. She runs her own music publishing label AGF Producktion and has collaborated with Eliane Radigue, Gudrun Gut, Kaffe Matthews, Craig Armstrong, and Ellen Allien amongst many others.
Long Night Talks. For Robert Adrian
Roberto Paci Dalò (IT)

Long Night Talks. For Robert Adrian is an 8-channel sound work dedicated to Robert Adrian X (1935-2015), a pioneer in art and telecommunications. For more than two decades, Adrian and Paci Dalò shared a close friendship, punctuated by long night talks on everything. In this piece, Roberto Paci Dalò worked with Adrian's voice, using it as his installation’s main material.
Che si può fare
Monica Vlad (RO), Johanna Falkinger (AT)

The theme of this performance is based on feelings of melancholy, sadness, fear of loss, meditation and anger and how music can be used in any way to express and release these emotions.
Vocals
Carla Bolgeri (CL/IT), Francisco Marín (CL)

Vocals is a work that explores the sonic power of language in an acoustic and corporal praxis that seeks in the voice a vehicle to experience a sonorous state in the body and in matter. We seek to transform our communication processes into other possible configurations of meaning, in a moving territory and a changing landscape, the layers of language are superimposed on the meanings, sounds, vowels, noises, in various phonic forms that move in the foundations of our communication.

Interactions II
Martina Claussen (DE)

Voice and sound recordings, together with sound objects, weave a “sound carpet” which provides the basis for an electroacoustic journey. These textures act as a sort of humus for voices, from which they repeatedly emerge in fragmented form. Associations of the most diverse kinds and unexpected connections are evoked.
Saxophone and Live Electronics Improvisation Concert
Jérôme Nika (FR), Rémi Fox (FR)

C’est pour ça develops an electronic aesthetic while seeking to preserve the organic character of the summoned “memories” (traditional choirs, spoken voice, saxophone playing modes...).

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.
