Pregnant in the winter of 2019 with the fetus who would become my daughter, I made hydrophone recordings from my cervix periodically between viability and birth. radiant drift accounts for the relative motion of my daughter and me in spacialized audio as we individuated in gestation. The literal hydrophone recordings are set in counterpoint against a poetic rendering in analog electronics.
Art makes us human. When a machine makes art, it challenges that axiom. With certain advents in art-making technology, the relationship between art and humanity has been called into question. Today in the West the music technology that raises the debate is machine-learning algorithms; a generation ago it was MIDI; a century ago it was mechanical instruments; five centuries ago it was instruments other than voice.
psalter ex machina is a site-specific work for Orgelpark in Amsterdam which resignifies sounds from these advents using SuperCollider, Python, and OSC.
Gestures generated from the Magenta Performance Recurrent Neural Network machine-learning algorithm trained on Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck’s organ settings of the Genevan Psalm 116 are heard in the Sauer organ alongside sampled and processed recordings of the Solina String Ensemble Synthesizer and instruments from the Museum Spleelklok.
DTR: Live Coding
An approach to creative practice
Improviser makes art by re-writing rules (mostly computer programs, but sometimes other code) in real-time
Audio - Visual Digital media (mostly)
Dance, Poetry, Lighting design (more and more)
When we re-write the rules, we change their fundamental character, not just their behavoir
