Imatge inicial

Sónar+D is the international meeting of art, science, and digital culture hosted by Sónar during the festival, and the MTG this year again participates in some of the activities within the festival or co-organized by Sonar+D:

+RAIN Live

June 14th – 8 PM

UPF Campus Poblenou

Registration (free entry)

As part of the +RAIN film festival, organized by the UPF in collaboration with Sonar+D, Sergi Jordà coordinates +RAIN Live, a show of music and audiovisuals using AI. +RAIN Live will present works from research and experimentation with AI, exploring aesthetic and narrative possibilities of creation with generative models and live coding.

The program includes Finding Light in the Distortion (Nicholas Evans, Alba Gonzalez, Pablo Gorostiaga), a performance in which they will improvise with a prototype of the GrooveTransformer Eurorack module, a hardware-based real-time rhythm generator developed by Behzad Haki and Nicholas Evans at the MTG. The Groove Transformer is a generative Neural Network that responds to the rhythmic inputs of human performers and accompanies them accordingly. In this hardware/Eurorack version of the Groove Transformer, the lightweight model can easily interface with other pieces of music hardware and respond to and trigger rhythmic events with standard control voltages. Although still a prototype, this will be the debut performance of the Groove Transformer Eurorack module. In the days following the performance, you can find the module on display at Sonar+D.
