Metamorphosis

Hongshuo Fan

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

Metamorphosis is a real-time interactive audio-visual composition for one human performer and two artificial intellectual performers. Three performers will start by playing the same virtual ancient Chinese percussion instrument: Bianqing (磬). Then, by learning, imitating, having conflict and cooperating with each other, this instrument's shape and sound will evolve gradually and the performers themselves. From ancient to modern, concrete to abstract, the fusion of sound, image and live performance creates an immersive experience exploring the dramatic shift and co-evolution between human and AI.
