Creating with generative musical agents dedicated to human-machine creative interaction
This section gives an overview of projects in which I have been involved as a musician, computer music designer, composer, or scientific advisor. These projects concern in particular improvised music (with Steve Lehman, Bernard Lubat, Benoît Delbecq, Rémi Fox …), contemporary music (with Pascal Dusapin, Ensemble Modern, Marta Gentilucci …), and art installations (with Le Fresnoy Studio National des Arts Contemporains, Vir Andres Hera …).
