A humanoid, 'Android Alter 3' is opening avenues for the use of artificial intelligence in music. Watch the robot conduct the orchestra during a live performance in the UAE
SHARJAH, UAE - The conductor on the podium has no baton, no tailcoat and no musical score, but Android Alter 3 is kicking up a storm as it guides a symphony orchestra’s players through their paces.
For Shibuya, a composer from Japan, the role of robots in our everyday lives may well be increasing, but it is up to us to decide how artificial intelligence might add to the human experience, and humans and androids create art together. Shibuya wrote the music, but the android controls the tempo and volume of the live show, and even sings at times.
The work’s lyrics are based on literary texts from American “Beat Generation” writer William Burroughs and French author Michael Houellebecq.
