| contents | On the occasion of Luigi Nono's birth centenary, I respond to his classic work for piano and tape, "..sofferte onde serene..", with a new work by the title 你們是蟲子 (You are bugs). This work extends Nono's techniques through live AI tools and interactive multimedia. It reflects on problems of authorship, authenticity and authority in musical AI, addressing the disturbing potential of human inferiority – the fact that we all are potentially "bugs" (with its multiple connotations), and we might have to accept a lower status in a new (or not so new) hierarchy. To do so, the work assumes an AI, as if alien, invasion of sorts, inspired by the "dark forest hypothesis", term coined by the Chinese sci-fi author Liu Cixin as a response to the Fermi paradox. The musical score consists of a fixed video, featuring borrowed cinematic materials of authoritarian figures, which are conducting, instructing, ordering, insulting and abusing the performer; augmented interactive tablatures; music notation and video synths. The score is projected in real-time and drives a combination of improvised, comprovised and fixed musical materials. These include the author's previous recordings of works by Luigi Nono, Iannis Xenakis and Maurice Ravel, which are remixed through a combination of SOMAX2 and GesTCom and are live controlled through inertial sensors and an MPE controller. Thus, both human and machine are trained and constrained by each other, and sparks of resistance to the machine are not missing. |
