The S.E.A.L.s are an AI-inspired
electronic noise/surf band consisting of the collective efforts
of Sofy Yuditskaya, Susie Green, Ria Rajan, Margaret
Schedel and Sophia Sun augmented by the S.E.A.L.
(Synthetic Erudition Assist Lattice), our AI counterparts that
assist us in creating usable content with which to mold and
shape our music and visuals; our music came about during the
height of the Covid-19 lockdowns across the globe; our live
performances online using various tech stacks are dependent upon
the concert organizers preferences; during these performances we
improvise on our respective music, audio and visual instruments;
we regard telematic music technologies, not only as means by
which our live online networked performances can be accessed but
also, as a chance-agent providing a completely individualized
temporal experience as the medium of the internet provides a
multidimensional sensorium schedel.net/ |

George Moraitis (Athens, Greece) |
Wednesday 15 |

"Finis Terrae" - Sound
performance using tape recorder, modular synths and field
recordings; his new composition reflects upon the perception of
the sonic environment of the Mediterranean basin, a
sonorous cavity of multiple resonances, noises, history,
rapid changes and memory; the basin seen as source and at the
same time as effect of resonances; an echo chamber in which
sound reverberates, generating multiple nuances of feedback,
return, boundness and offering; like an interplay of mirrors in
which every act or object is multiplied and even distorted georgemoraitis.gr |
