AIODE – Paradise

In the second part of the AIODE project, the Marc Sinan Company once again explores the interplay between artificial intelligence and music. PARADISE is an AI that controls a harpsichord robot and can be heard in Marc Sinan’s song cycle NEOFILIA, a celebration of the love of the new and strange. In addition, soprano Johanna Vargas and pianist Magdalena Cerezo Falces present COLD TRIP by legendary Austrian composer, improviser and programmer of musical patches and applications Bernhard Lang.

from 17:00
Sound installation with hyper-intelligent harpsichord robot.

19:00 NEOFILIA
A concert by the Marc Sinan Company with Johanna Vargas, Magdalena Cerezo, Meinrad Kneer, Marc Sinan and Cembaloroboter is not dedicated to exoticism and fear, but quite the opposite: the love of the foreign. Inspired by texts about love by James Baldwin, Fatma Kahriman and Ingeborg Bachmann, the sound of a rousing band develops between baroque, Turkish music and new music.

20:00 THE COLD TRIP
Johanna Vargas and Magdalena Cerezo Falces perform Bernhard Lang’s crazy spin on a winter journey.
