Musical Improvisation for Embodied Human-Machine Learning. Artist Talk mit Lauren Sarah Hayes (MHL)
Lauren Sarah Hayes will share her work and her thoughts on the practice of live electronic improvisation.
In these seminars I will discuss and show examples from my ongoing musical ecosystem–or perhaps, rather, musical playground–that I have been messily evolving over the last 18 years. This project embraces the methodology of creative music practice as a way of knowing and asks: what are the ways in which live electronic improvised musical practice can be understood as highly embodied, and therefore specific to our particular and unique physiologies, our aesthetic domains, our behaviors, cultural milieux, ways of living and being as individuals and with others? And how can technologically-mediated systems serve to facilitate imagined, desired, unknowable, or as-yet-unrealized experiences and musical worlds? This research uses the enactive-ecological approach as a framework for exploring a range of practice-based interventions including haptics/touch aesthetics, musical HCI, interdisciplinary improvisation and, most recently, embodied approaches to machine learning.
