Program Note
Can you hear me?
Are you Listening?
I am… Alive.
scriptedDialogues builds on my previous work using the Yamaha Disklavier pianos. In this piece, the Disklavier serves as a medium through which a human performer and computer communicate. At times the human performer leads, and the computer responds with materials based on the input of the performer. At other times, the computer generates score materials that the human performer must sight-read in real time! Thus, there is an equalization between the two performing forces – the human performer and the computer become an ensemble.
