Another delightful collaboration with Gérard Assayag (ERC REACH) on Elez-Boulaine, this time +Ravel, with Gérard guiding somax2 and with heartfm visualisations of performer ECG, breathing, and heart rate variability. Somax2 samples from Jean-Brice Godet, Valérie Philippin, Francesco Guerri, Alice Teyssier in response to Elaine’s playing. Elaine samples from Boulez’s Fragment d’une ébauche and Ravel’s Jeux d’eau in response to somax2.
Thanks to Florence Ferran and Patrick Nédellec for the opportunity to participate in this year’s Night of Ideas at the Institut Français du Royaume-Uni (French Institute of the United Kingdom). The performances are part of the session on Portrait of the artist in the age of AI chaired by Eva Jäger with panelist Marrion Carré. We are grateful for the support from Jerome Chevrier, Loic Lefrileux, Rudolf, and more.
