Artist Statement:
Improvised and composed works are performed using the computer as an integral member of a musical ensemble. The players have extensive experience in performing with artificially-intelligent composition software. A new improvisation environment is presented in which the software tracks and responds to an integration of the contributions of several players, including the program itself. The computer analyzes data from a sax/bass clarinet and violin (Kimura) via a pitch-to-MIDI converter and then generates another voice in an ensemble texture in real time.
