Abstract

The composition Uncertainty Etude #2 is based on a narrative that keeps the performer remain in unconfident state of performing. The composition provides musical phrases followed by ever-shifting new sounds. Uncertainty Etude #2 is a composition written for the AI-terity instrument that comprises GANSpaceSynth deep learning hybrid method for generating relevant audio samples for real-time audio synthesis. The autonomous behaviour of the AI-terity instrument keeps the performer in an uncertainty state in the performance. Appearance of new sounds and being able to move through timber-changes in latent space allow performer to explore a whole new range of musical possibilities with the AI-terity instrument. Composition turns into a continuous state of playing and opening up new variety of musical demands.
