Pablo Riera // Human and Artificial Friends

This project was born a few months ago, in the heat of the isolation, when the need to play music together with friends pushed the development of this project. A network of musicians (either human or artificial) collect and receive midi information through a web interface. In this presentation two keyboardist friends will have a conversation with an artificial pianist.
