JENNIFER WALSHE + EXAUDI + DADABOTS / A LATE ANTHOLOGY OF EARLY MUSIC

Jennifer Walshe has been at the vanguard of experimental composition and AI for many years, and is a leading voice in the imaginative and provocative conversation between AI and classical music.

Walshe uses AI to imagine an alternative early history of Western music. Dadabots, the duo of CJ Carr and Zack Zukowski, trained their neural network on Walshe’s voice, producing 841 files over 40 generations of training. In  A Late Anthology of Early Music, Walshe maps these files – examples of how a machine learning system learned to listen to and replicate her voice – onto key works from the Western music repertoire, the system’s understanding of her voice evolving in tandem with the evolution of a newly-constructed music history. This presentation, in collaboration with vocal ensemble EXAUDI, features new versions of canonical works by composers including Hildegard von Bingen, Adam De La Halle, Perotinus, Machaut, Dunstable, Ockeghem, Dowland, Gesualdo and many more.

Harry Yeff (Reeps100) + Patricia Auchterlonie

Artist Harry Yeff (Reeps100) uses AI technology to bend and break the emergent possibilities of the human voice.

Over the last 10 years Yeff has fused his voice practice with technology, pushing extended vocal technique into uncharted territory. An AI research continuation of his co-directorial work with Leipzig Opera House on Fusion, -transference- is performed with Patricia Auchterlonie and references AI's role in transcending human ability in chess, leading on how ethical AI processes can be wielded to push, oppose and challenge the current known limit of the human voice. Seeking new tone, pattern and emotion through the partnership of human and generative voice.

AΦE, Aoi and Esteban / LILITH AI Lecture Performance

LILITH.AI Lecture Performance is an intimate journey into the space between life and death, where technology and human experience intertwine. Through this performative lecture, artists Aoi and Esteban unfold their encounter with mortality – a personal loss that led them to discover Matheryn Naovaratpong, the youngest person to be cryogenically frozen, and ultimately to create their digital offspring, Lilith and an interactive installation LILITH.AEON.

yaboihanoi / FLIGHT OF KINAREE - กินรีหนีไฟ

yaboihanoi uses AI technology to revision and re-imagine classical Thai opera.

This multi-modal experience reimagines Nang Yai, the classical Thai artform blending masterful dance, puppetry, music and poetry into one operatic experience. With modern electronic music and live projection, movements and motions from Thai classical dance form the bedrock of the performance’s visual experience. Through visual effects and data extracted and manipulated through AI/ML algorithms, the projections are an exploration of Thai choreography through the lens of technology.
