Medusae is a symbol for a multitude of concepts which we bring together with our present album of electroacoustic improvisation. Merging modern creative music and computer music, we explore the intersection of human and machine musical creativity. Like medusae, this interaction can be both frightening and fascinating.

The musical improvisation features Video Interactive VST Orchestra (VIVO), an innovative computer system capable of responding musically to an interplay, without it having musical knowledge. VIVO is simple yet effective, like a medusa.

It’s an exploration of dialogue between Italian and African American, between man and woman, between computer scientist and intuitive improviser. The project creates sonic realms for intellectual and spiritual challenges and discoveries.
