Post-Singularity Songs touches on mythology, the nature of time, death, the relationship between AI and truth, and free will, w additional texts by Emily Dickinson & John Donne. If you're in Oxford, check out this event for some wild tech-influenced virtuosity!

This was my first time working with the gloves! I had a few workshop sessions with Amble and the gloves (which she programmed), then we rehearsed with the orchestra, then we performed. Amble and I have another project next year with the gloves, I'm really excited to work with her and the tech again!

The gloves act as an interface through which my live vocals can be processed with electronics. Based on my hand movements, different effects (such as delays, filters, etc) can be triggered and added live into the sonic texture. They can be programmed in ways specific to the composer and performer! 😊
