About this exposition

During the pandemic, I started experimenting with AI-assisted compositions through singing and collaborating with composers Robert Laidlow in “Songs without Meaning” and Tywi Roberts in “Blodeuwedd” for the PRiSM Future Music Festival. Coupled with the rise of AI in the zeitgeist, I was inspired to understand why I was so interested in AI as a cultural worker. I was also interested in commissioning composers for new work written with AI and programming a concert incorporating my views. Through this research, I trace my pathway from contextualizing AI within algorithmic composition, to understanding how I would want to coexist with the threat and creative possibilities of AI. I discovered I was not satisfied with clean mimicry. Instead, I was seeking an uncanny parody that inadvertently exposes the behaviours of the human condition. The theories that guided me were Halberstam’s Low Theory, which discusses failure as a form of counter-commercial resistance; Freud’s idea of the uncanny as a liminal mirror of subconscious human fears; and the Surrealist found object, which taps into our subconscious in a ‘naïve’ manner. My research also discusses my various experiments with my composers with different AI programs, from text to midi to sound generators. The research also discusses the application of my curational approach to AI in concert programming, which uses the archetype and metaphor of the Siren as a programming narrative. This reflection and research hopes to be useful for other singer-commissioners who would want to work with AI.
