The Nudge is a fully generative piece for synthetic voice and immersive audio environment. A 40 minute possible interpretation was premiered at Sound-Lab from C-Lab on december 9th 2022 onto a 7th-order 49-speakers ambisonic diffusion system.
Thank you to C-Lab and its team for letting me work on one of its ambisonic systems. A special thank to Amy Cheng, Yujie Huang, and ChiaYing Wang from The Cube project space and their great Sonic Shaman festival.
The Nudge is a concept recently used in economics and decision-making where choices are intentionally gently oriented by a strategy, a policy, or politics. Such contextual choices can similarly be determined in a musical form by both artists, the audience, and the artificial intelligence lying in between.
The Nudge is utterly a science-fiction game with its optimism and delusions. It will navigate within the uncanny valley: between expected emotions, clichés, and outside human classicism powered and decided by a machine.
The piece, in pseudo-English is a new step of my voice synthesis engine using VAEs and another “secret sauce“. It is a next step from previous pieces Extraordinary Journeys, Principles of the Theory of Wealth, Epic 201757695.02.
Algorithmically paraphrased abstruse, deconstructed, texts from Richard Thaler, Achim Menges, Nello Cristianini, Bruno Latour, Michel Foucault, Jorge Luis Borges, and Stephen Wolfram.
Generated text extract with automatic paraphrasing for the end of the piece. Imagine a micro-rhythmic slow evolution structure underneath.
