Anti-Automationism

This piece was World Premiered at "Manufacturing Audible Truth" hosted by Anton Bruckner Private University (Linz, Austria) as part of the Ars Electronica Festival 2023 and was African Premiered at "World (New) Music Days 2023" hosted by International Society for Contemporary Music. Only audio part is the original one, visual part is attached later by myself. Here is the program notes: Why should we artist resist the Automationism? Entering the 20th century, following matter has occurred: automatic dependence on technology by artist. And this kind of art guarantees some kind of always new experiences, because technology itself has developed continually. This matter has constructed artistic circulation or automatism. The subjects of creation are no more there. Automationism artists say "we can automatize music-composition" or "we could successfully make an automatic-sound-system." But how can those insistence be meaningful? If composing process is automatized, shouldn't we treat it as mere material, because it has already automatized and we artists, a subject of creation came out of it? In this awareness of the problem, I incorporated deep learning system into my complex Max/Msp patch and let it learn my improvisation automatically. If my improvisation is learned, what I should do is playing what has not been learned yet. In this way, I repeated letting machine-learning-system learn my improvisation and improvising so as to resist that learning. As a result, I composed one electroacoustic piece. I strongly insist that artists should resist the temptation of the Automationism and should be Anti- Automationist. As a result, the music as final output is very screaky and uncomfortable, almost like hell, hahaha Thank you for your like button and honest comments!
