文字稿
Alexandros Markeas has been making music pretty much his entire life. But now, he is no longer making it on his own.
亞歷山大·馬凱亞斯幾乎一生都在創作音樂。但現在，他不再隻靠自己創作瞭。
He sits at his piano, improvising, composing, bringing together different notes and sounds – then the automated piano next to him responds.
他坐在鋼琴前，即興彈奏、譜寫樂曲，將不同的音符和聲音編成旋律，然後他身旁的自動鋼琴作出回應。
Artificial intelligence conjuring up new music all by itself. A creative relationship back and forth – synergy between man and machine.
人工智能自行創造新的樂曲。這是一種來回互動的創作關系，是人與機器的無間協作。
Alexandros Markeas, Composer
I’m interested in acting, having a reaction and reacting to the reaction. Because in the end I’m always the one who manages it. I’m here now and I want to create music that results from a surprise, from something I didn’t expect.
亞歷山大·馬凱亞斯 作曲傢
“我對這一過程很感興趣：行動引發反應，然後對此反應再作出反應。因為到最後，總是我來把關。我現在在這裡，希望可以創造出源自驚喜和我意料之外的音樂。”
A team of local scientists develop the software, inputting data and teaching the machine to make choices. The priority – to create something completely original and innovative.
一個由當地科學傢組成的團隊開發瞭這個軟件，輸入數據並教機器作出選擇。首要任務是創造出百分百原創和新穎的東西。
Jérôme Nika, Scientific researcher
The direction in which artistic projects push the machines is to go and look for the frontier of error [eg: mistakes], the frontier of the bizarre [eg: unusual] rather than trying to reproduce as faithfully as possible a human sound.
傑羅姆·尼卡 科學研究員
“藝術項目的發展方向是推動機器探索誤差的前沿，尋找不同尋常的地方，而不是一味忠實地重現人類創作的聲音。”
