Seven Pleasures of Pris

The music in each of these tracks was created with artificial intelligence and machine learning. You will hear two AI-Bots: one in the centre uses soprano sax samples as its source, the other in wide stereo uses percussion. The two AI-Bots were programmed to respond to the other's sound and to contribute to the ongoing improvisation live and in realtime. Each AI-Bot is controlled by its own AI and is working without any human intervention. They are listening to each other and co-creating, and crucially doing something in the music that is beyond mimicry or behavioural response. The AI underpinning each Bot is driven by several Creative AI datasets and Machine Learning using a special process called embodied intelligence. The datasets are derived from real human musicians improvising with an AI-Bot. The AI operates on several concurrent processes:

1. raw data from the live music
2. dataset records of previous live improvisations
3. statistical correlations using multi-level perceptual neural-networks These are then controlled by an affect module that responds to the dynamics of the live improvisation and manipulates a gate system that recombines these streams into a final data flow. It is this that is used to drive the wheels of the physical bot and trigger the sounds.
