Artist Statement:
Musebots are pieces of software that autonomously create music, collaboratively with other musebots. The goal of this project is to establish a creative platform for experimenting with musical autonomy, open to people developing cuttingedge music AI, or simply exploring the creative potential of generative processes in music. Not simply a robot jam, but individual virtual instrumentalists coming together, like a band, to autonomously create (in this case) downtempo EDM. For this Canadian premiere of the MuseBot ensemble, we have contributions from Europe, Australia, and North America. Curated by Arne Eigenfeldt & Oliver Bown.
