Huis Clos V - AdK Berlin (2019)

A live performance by the Istanbul Composers Collective. We have recorded both video and audio of our members playing different instruments. We have built various sampler instruments for the performers and trained an Artificial Intelligence on the association of sounds and images of a solo performance. During the live event, AI tried to associate the the sounds it hears with the images it has seen before, in real-time. I was there to help it during it’s performance, in a sense.
