This is a recording of Astrid Zeman (@aazzz) improvising with an artificially intelligent musical agent. The agent is using musical material created by Astrid and Ben Carey (@emeidos) to form its output. It was created with Aengus Martin's Agent Designer software which aims to enable musician's who are not computer programmers, to create generative and interactive music systems. There are some papers about the Agent Designer listed here: www.ee.usyd.edu.au/carlab/aengus.htm.

Naviar Broadcast #317 – Deep in the mountains – Wednesday 1st May 2024

Face of the winter pond
doesn't reflect
even a leaf...

Nakamura Kusatao was born in Xiamen (China) in 1901 and moved to Japan in 1904.

He was influenced by contemporary Western philosophy, mostly Friedrich Nietzsche, and his poetry focused on themes of life and humanity. Together with Shuson Kato and Ishida Hakyo, Nakamura Kusatao was a member of the “Human Exploration School”, a group of poets who used haiku to explore and highlight "how human beings should live".

Nakamura Kusatao launched the magazine Banryoku in 1946, and his major collections include Chōshi, Hi no shima, Biden, and Toki.
