Our AIMC 2021 publication, GANSpaceSynth: A Hybrid Generative Adversarial Network Architecture for Organising the Latent Space using a Dimensionality Reduction for Real-Time Audio Synthesis is now open accessible online – Link to the publication
In this NIME 2021 publication, we focus on the development on our AI-terity instrument. Our main contribution in this paper is the new deep learning architecture that we implemented, autonomous features that we built in relation to the deep leaning model and the improved 3D model. https://nime.pubpub.org/pub/9zu49nu5/release/1?readingCollection=71dd0131
Uncertainty Etude #2 is an abstract narrative that keeps the performer remain in unconfident state of performing with the AI-terity instrument. It is presented as a pre-recorded performance at NIME 2021. https://nime.pubpub.org/pub/qtgzbdak/release/1
Following the symposium in Helsinki in 2019, a diverse group of expert scholars, artists, musicians, practitioners continued working together to open further inquiry into and dialogue about socio-cultural role of technology in current and emerging digital music practices.
Now the content of this work is published as a special issue in Journal of New Music Research (Guest Editors: Koray Tahiroğlu and Thor Magnusson) https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/nnmr20/50/2?nav=tocList and this special issue is one of the outcomes of Academy Research Fellow project (no.316549) – http://dmi.aalto.fi
In digital music practices, musicianship, technology, composition and the performance environment are all often conceptualised to the degree that they become embedded in people’s musical instrument building practice, thinking about music, themselves and their relationship with their communities. This embedded practice feeds into the music itself, which further impacts audience experience. Koray Tahiroğlu briefly talked about in what ways we apply this embedded practice in our artistic research projects.
Spring 2020 marked a period of enhanced uncertainty all around the world with the COVID-19 pandemic forcing societies into lockdown. The situation brought up societal and governance challenges that were further internalized into individuals’ thinking and their relationships as communities and with the world at large. Being uncertain also requires that one be able to cope with doubt, something 2020 took to unusual lengths. The garden presented three artists within the framework of uncertainty, including studio visits, demonstrations, talks and a musical performance. The presentations by Koray Tahiroğlu, Laura Beloff and Andy Best streamed and followed by live sessions for further dialogue with the audience. The garden events were produced by Aalto Studios at Aalto University.
The composition Uncertainty was presented in Ars Electronica 2020, keeps the musician in a hesitant state of performance, providing a non-rigid but identifiable musical events, followed by ever shifting new sounds. https://ars.electronica.art/keplersgardens/en/ai-terity-music/
