Duet (Preview)

A generative performance between improvisation and composition, between precise instructions and free interpretation, between synthetic and natural sounds, between human and machine. A time-based piece where the computer becomes composer, conductor and performer all at once, generating a constant stream of sound and visuals alongside musical scores to be played by human musicians. A series of unique NFTs: stills derived from the performance, deconstructed versions of the musical scores, reminiscent of the ephemeral.

Duet (Preview) is part of Andreas Rau’s ongoing exploration of human-machine collaboration. It is the first in a series of audiovisual generative performances where human musicians meet computer-generated sounds and visuals. Starting in 2024, this body of work will be brought to life together with different musicians for audiences in locations around the world. Accompanying NFT series will immortalize the performances on the blockchain.

A first exclusive preview of Duet was presented by KEF and Parameta in Hong Kong on November 28th and 29th, 2023 with the artist himself as the performing musician. This series presents stills from the parameter space used for the preview performances.
