A performance by percussionist Currency Audio (Rajeev Maddela) with visual accompaniment by Gleix (George Gleixner).
This fully improvised first-time collaborative performance, utilizing a MIDI drum kit and custom controllable generative software pipelines developed independently by both artists, merges the two in a complex web of real-time data sonification and visualization via software like Ableton Live, Cycling '74 Max/MSP, and Derivative TouchDesigner.
The theme for this event, provided to the artists, was to do with Richard Brautigan's "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace" (1967).
Performed in Brooklyn, NY in May of 2024.
