Samodai-Szives Duo: Xenophony
This programme is held in Hungarian.
What are xenobots, and how do they reproduce? Does a person have a digital self or self-image, and if so, how many kinds? What would it be like to experience the creation of the world as a robot? At the visual creation concert of the Samodai-Szives Duo (Bence Samodai – trumpet, Márton Szives – percussion) and Tamás Berkes, the audience can reflect together on these questions, among others, not only with the composers and performers, but also with the machines themselves. The works performed were written especially for this concert for the Duo by Hungarian and foreign composers, and they all revolve around one theme: what do creation and evolution look like when viewed from the perspective of robots and artificial intelligence? After all, the question is no longer whether artificial intelligence exists, but how we cooperate with it. Note: you are allowed to bring a ping-pong ball!
Since 2018, the Samodai-Szives Duo has been developing its visual and performative concerts across Europe. They work regularly with contemporary composers in order to express, in as many colours as possible through the language of music, what many of us think about day by day: tales, mystical rituals, what intelligence actually is, what it means to be human, or even the irritation caused by street noise… Now they have teamed up with visual designer Tamás Berkes to take their visual concerts to a higher level: at this concert, artificial intelligence is used not simply as a tool or “artistic pretext”, but as a chamber partner and co-designer of the visuals. The generative visual elements respond in real time to motion, sound and rhythm, forming an organic part of the concert’s dramaturgy, and often even of the musical works themselves.
