A view of the the interior of Ircam

Just arrived at @ircam_paris for #improtech . Setting up the Sophtar in studio 5, this afternoon at 16:30 I will presents the instrument and its distinctive techniques, and improvise with different algorithms and models. #sophtar #musicresearch #newinstruments

Sophtar presentation at NIME 2024 Next week is NIME week! This year I am not going – Canberra is way too far from Berlin – but I finally got around uploading my presentation from last year's conference though, which took place in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Features the Sophtar and a somewhat pretentious digression about magic, ergodynamics, and a quote from a book by Benjamin Labatut I was reading on my way there.

TCP/Indeterminate Place quartet performs Reconciliation at Studio Acusticum TCP/IP live at Studio Acusticum 2025. Photo: Petter Sundkvist On Monday 9 June 2025 the TCP/Indeterminate Place quartet performed Reconciliation, a piece we composed in 2024 for a special double duo telematic performance in which two of us performed at the Kapelle der Versöhnung in Berlin and the other two at the Orgelpark in Amsterdam. This time we were all at the Studio Acusticum main concert hall, playing our instruments and interacting with the massive Acusticum/University pipe organ in several ways.

Photos and a short video from the TCP/IP quartet concert at Studio Acusticum. I played the #Sophtar and tested a few new interactions with the Acusticum #Hyperorgan.

More videos from the Embedding Algorithms Workshop! Three this time: @federicovisi.bsky.social (me!) with an early presentation of the #Sophtar (so much has happened since then, particularly after working at the #intelligentinstruments Lab) youtu.be/N8uK5HPQ5lM

Guthman Musical Instrument Competition concert with all the finalists performing with local musicians. I will be on stage with the #Sophtar played four hands with Sukandar Kartadinata and Jeff Albert on trombone. There will be sounds you probably never heard before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TRd...
