Dynamiques Fluides is a visual audio performance composed and produced for the Hexagram network’s 20th anniversary gala. The performance features Alexandre on the guitar and Marc-André on synthesizers, accompanied by machine learning algorithms. The performance explores human-machine co-improvisation, or how machine-generated patterns can serve as triggers for human musical improvisation. The term “dynamique” in this context represents the human-machine relationship that becomes fluid and transformative during the performance. The visual is based on Unreal Engine and features a real-time fluid simulation that expands as the intensity of the music increases.
