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 http://www.schedel.net/%C2%A0George 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 www.georgemoraitis.gr Jacob Kirkegaard (Copenhagen, Denmark) Thursday 16
