Building a Symbiotic Human/Machine Orchestra

Professor Ajay Kapur - Associate Dean for Research and Development in Digital Arts & Director of Music Technology: Interaction, Intelligence & Design (MTIID), California Institute of the Arts

 

This talk introduces the KarmetiK Machine Orchestra, a mixed ensemble of human and robotic performers. A series of twenty robotic musical instruments have been designed and created to perform with an orchestra of contemporary electronic musicians. In the talk, we will describe the design and production of the robotic instruments, details on the visual and sonic aesthetics of the ensemble, technical considerations of the computer network employed in the performance, and information on an assortment of compositions in the current repertoire.
