Alexandre Saunier and I are presenting a paper co-authored with Maurice Jones about the behaviour generator based on large language models (LLMs) that transforms textual prompts into expressive sound modulations and motions in space.
Presenting at AIMC, Conference on AI Music Creativity
Alexandre Saunier and I are presenting a paper co-authored with Maurice Jones about the behaviour generator based on large language models (LLMs) that we used during the Wilding AI workshop at MONOM, part of CTM Festival 2025. Some highlights of what we're presenting: LLM Behavior Generator that transforms textual prompts into expressive sound modulations and motions in space. Chain of thoughts involving a “recipe” LLM cascading into a “code” LLM.

AI is an attack on knowledge workers. Anti-intellectualism like this will be a crucial tool for those who want to undermine any potential for a response to that attack that takes the form of broad working class solidarity.

Next week is NIME week! Not going this year – Canberra is way too far from Berlin – but I finally uploaded my presentation from last year. Features the Sophtar and a somewhat pretentious digression about magic, ergodynamics, and a quote from a book by Benjamin Labatut #NIME #NewInstruments #Sophtar
Sophtar presentation at NIME 2024
Next week is NIME week! This year I am not going – Canberra is way too far from Berlin – but I finally got around uploading my presentation from last year's conference though, which took place in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Features the Sophtar and a somewhat pretentious digression about magic, ergodynamics, and a quote from a book by Benjamin Labatut I was reading on my way there.

TCP/Indeterminate Place quartet performs Reconciliation at Studio Acusticum
TCP/IP live at Studio Acusticum 2025. Photo: Petter Sundkvist On Monday 9 June 2025 the TCP/Indeterminate Place quartet performed Reconciliation, a piece we composed in 2024 for a special double duo telematic performance in which two of us performed at the Kapelle der Versöhnung in Berlin and the other two at the Orgelpark in Amsterdam. This time we were all at the Studio Acusticum main concert hall, playing our instruments and interacting with the massive Acusticum/University pipe organ in several ways.
