A Conversation with Artificial Intelligence

Kıvanç Tatar's performance at OPEN to ENTER, Selector's Records.

This performance is a duo with a musical agent, artificial intelligence, making music. The human performer is on the left channel and the musical agent is on the right channel. The agent listens to the human performer and itself real-time, making proactive decisions about future actions. The agent is trained on a 30 minute experimental music recording, available here: https://ktatar.bandcamp.com/track/self-distruption. The system design is yet to be published. Please check https://kivanctatar.wordpress.com/research/ in a couple of months.
