Nice version - a very literal re-versioning indeed. While it's nice to deconstruct another artist's music, I always hope to hear it reassembled with a completely different aesthetic, like Max Raabe's covers or Nouvelle Vague. At any rate, nice work.

Listen to the first bits of audio released to the world from the upcoming Kurzweil K2700 workstation. The awesome composition comes to us from our very own head of software, Fran Rodriguez and features some of the pads and synth sounds manipulated with the ribbon controller to create this inspiring atmosphere.

(All sound is 100% K2700)

Coming soon!

"Unity in Diversity" is a duet for human and computer. Performed by Andrew R. Brown and CIM at the “Improvising Algorithms” concert as part of the Musical Metacreation Weekend in Sydney on Saturday 15 June 2013. In this work the human performer plays a keyboard synthesizer and the computer software (CIM) listens, analyzes, and responds in real time as a duet partner. The concert was curated internationally and this work was selected alongside leading contributions from Australian and overseas artists, all working in human-computer interactive music. This performance is part of an integrated practice-led research process where the theory, software, composition and performance are all undertaken by the same researchers. We are exploring how autonomous musical agents ideally display independent creative capacity, behaviour and intent. Beyond displaying autonomy, musical agents should ideally seek to create unity in diversity. This performance was part of the demonstration and evaluation of the experimental CIM software that implements a novel interactive musical duet model derived from analysis of human musical duet interactions. This duet performance with CIM combines ‘conversational’ interaction with ‘inter-part elision’ to simultaneously create both a sense of independent musical agency and cohesive ensemble unity. While no formal evaluation was done as part of this performance—it was selected and presented with a focus on its aesthetic credibility— two academic papers have been published about evaluations of the system from the perspectives of performer and audience.

It is with the greatest of pleasure that we present our 100th release. A remix of Eudaimonia’s Uroboros is befitting for the occasion, a collaboration between Eudaimonia, label founder Nick Coleman and Düsseldorf singer Julika Elizabeth.

The vocal session from Julika, recorded by the legendary German engineer Peter Krick, was to be the catalyst and inspiration for Coleman’s remix. Recorded in one takes, Julika lay down every part in an hour, without a single retake. Her aura and energy in the session was truly captivating, powerful & transcendental 🤯The Hindu mantra “Om Namah Shivaya” she performs is a popular passage to further know and understand your own self.

Eudaimonia’s Uroboros is an eternal cycle and ultimately the cause of this chain of events. His remix parallels a similar philosophical after thought, the process of going back around, conjuring a new interpretation to further know and understand oneself.

Our next exclusive mix comes from Melbourne based Rem Siman

Although he tends to branch out into many various genres under 'House', he particularly enjoys mixing Melodic Techno, Indie House and Progressive House.

After a few of his distinctive tracks began to be played internationally at festivals and clubs, it was clear that his sound was instantly bringing crowds together. 

This lead him to play shows across North America in only his second year of producing. Rem has since signed with established Melbourne Label, Suckmusic.

Tactical Temporalities is a semi-improvised live coding performance that manipulates algorithmic descriptions of musical processes in the context of an Algorave setting. The work employs algorithms developed through research into musically salient computational processes and insights from studies in music theory and music perception. These are combined into a interactive performance that manages the dance of agency between the human musician and semi-autonomous computational systems. Stylistically, Tactical Temporalities, is metrically regular, harmonically diatonic and utilises electronic and sampled timbral elements typically of those employed in electronic dance music.

The piece is for Solo performer and 3 computational agents. This version was played by the composer, Andrew R. Brown, at the Australasian Computer Music Conference in Sydney, Australia, November 2015.

Hey everyone,

For my second live studio stream I will be performing a song by one of my biggest musical influences - Kraftwerk. I will then talk about the entire process I went through remaking the work and take any questions from viewers.

I was lucky enough to see Kraftwerk in Australia in 2003 (Concert poster pictured) and will be seeing them again here, in their home city of Düsseldorf at their upcoming Tour De France 3D Concert.

The original German studio version & a live version were referenced for the remake.
