My first performance of the year is an exciting premiere by Chicago-based trombonist, Riley Leitch. ‘Vox II: Ad Homines’ is an interactive audience participatory piece combining AI, AR and the Internet of Things. A custom AI model will listen to Riley’s solo playing in real time and respond to his material changes by sending a signal to the cloud. This signal will trigger the audience members’ phones to load a new sound, which they can perform with using a purpose-built AR interface, all neatly contained in the free Vox II iOS application. The result will be a flexible and free jam session between the entire audience with Riley at the helm as soloist/conductor, empowered by the AI system.
The premiere will take place on Sunday 12 Jan at Constellation, Chicago. For more information and tickets, please see the link here.
