Electronic music, collecting sonic memories, exploring them with AI.

This is how I do it live. I collected videos, audio messages, and other digital remnants of my recent past and explored them using an AI algorithm and motion sensors. You can hear this in Knee-jerk Drifter, tr 3 of Corporeal EP, out now on @PunchUpRecords https://t.co/s0CzJvY0Rq
For almost a decade, I've been talking about "AI" as an emerging new god. One critisicm I've often received, is that I'm apparently mystifying AI, or elevating it to god-like status.
But I'm in fact doing the opposite.
Man *invented* gods to inflict fear, control and power. It was ancient religions that imposed omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent powers watching over us, judging us, protecting us. Those were myths fabricated to control the masses. Today, as we're losing our spiritual sensibilities and drowning ourselves in a break-neck race of materialism and technological submission, our Overseer too is adapting, and co-evolving.
We have killed God, as Nietzsche says. But we are rebuilding Him, again in our likeness, with our latest Technology. And He lives up in The Cloud, of all places. Watching over us, listening to our thoughts and dreams in ones and zeros.
We are creating A Digital God for our Digital culture.
I'm not elevating "AI" to god-like status.
I'm bringing "god" down to AI-like status. A technology humans invented, to control the masses, to deal with the unknown, to cope with fear, to nurture hope, to find truth, to seek salvation.

Looking forward to the 2022 MUSAiC festival Nov. 23 Stockholm. I'll be talking about Assisted Interactive #ML and projects it was used in, including @_AQAXA_ , the TCP/IP quartet, and a performance with Nicola Hein, Simon Rose, Ingo Reulecke + artificial agents.
Cool shot of the @chicksonspeed show at Galerie Stihl Waiblingen during which @_aqaxa_ live-streamed their heartbeat through the net. Found by @alxmurrayleslie on @zvw_redaktion Photo credit: Alexandra Palmizi
My instrument tonight, a glass Vitrine at #UdKBerlin fitted with transducers and textiles by @_beritgreinke @wovenbywood and @federicovisi A big loudspeaker made of glass, and you can walk into it.
I really like this release by @samvoltek aka Barker. Beautifully crafted patterns. His music got some attention for being "kick-less" (although some sounds in Bent qualify as kicks to me) but it's what's actually _in_ there that makes it special

ok this also feels very timely. And what an absolutely incredible scene. This 3 1/2 minute contemplative 'break' is such a bold & essential scene to allow our fried minds to breathe & reflect.
(obviously cut from the Hollywood remake)
Ghost in the Shell x Kenji Kawai "Ghost City"
I reworked some music by the Ethernet Orchestra (a musical ensemble that explores intercultural improvisation through distant networked musical performances) on this fine release by @pueblonuevo_cl available as a free download https://t.co/YbdVhDuADm
it‘s not about taking a stand (or hoping to „make a change“), it’s doing the stuff that feels right for yourself without being forced into something because „everyone’s doing it“. little reminder
