With the looming universality of AI, how might patrons of art explore the most human forms of creative expression? Or at least the good ones?
Sounds from the Meat Machine is a dissection of music composition through an increasingly necessary lens of dystopic modernity. Might a song echo the humanity of its creator? Or are we drawn to it – sometimes – because it’s just a bop.
Brad Torres (composer Cast Away: A Musical Parody, Questus: The Zero’s Journey) leverages his combined three decades as a music educator and improv comedian to ask the question Kasparov posed of Deep Blue: will I be embarrassed by a computer?
For each show, Brad will take audience prompts, concluding the performance with the showcase of a brand-new piece – created in real time – of what some might call art.
