We represent the most extreme effort ever made towards empowering the solo instrumentalist with software. As an ensemble, we (▲) perform works of 'Sonic Multiplicities', a 21st century music philosophy and interactive musical software application developed by Andrew Grathwohl. This entails combining a solo instrumentalist with the SM performance software, and Grathwohl himself at the console, expanding the software's codebase in real-time through an act known as 'livecoding'. These performances represent Grathwohl's most current explorations within the Sonic Multiplicities medium.

We, who comprise ▲, believe that computers should be used to further the future exploration of the musical arts - not to streamline, evangelize, or mimic the musical past. When leveraged by the trained solo instrumentalist, the SM software hooks into the vast Sonic Multiplicities "cloud continuum", empowering the soloist to reach new heights of musical complexity, intensity, and control. It is an uncompromising platform that demands excellence from its performer, and is designed to explore the future of the Western cannon, not its distinct past.
