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(chuàng)作音樂。但現(xiàn)在，他不再只靠自己創(chuàng)作了。

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，然后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(chuàng)造新的樂曲。這是一種來回互動的創(chuàng)作關系，是人與機器的無間協(xié)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       作曲家
“我對這一過程很感興趣：行動引發(fā)反應，然后對此反應再作出反應。因為到最后，總是我來把關。我現(xiàn)在在這里，希望可以創(chuàng)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?shù)乜茖W家組成的團隊開發(fā)了這個軟件，輸入數(shù)據(jù)并教機器作出選擇。首要任務是創(chuàng)造出百分百原創(chuàng)和新穎的東西。

Jér?me 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.

杰羅姆·尼卡       科學研究員
“藝術項目的發(fā)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(xiàn)人類創(chuàng)作的聲音?！?

Ultimately, Alexandros wants to take the show on the road, performing for audiences, showcasing this new way of working. A musical partnership unlike any that’s gone before. 

亞歷山大最終的目標是舉辦巡回演出，為聽眾表演，充分展示這種新的工作方式：一種前所未有的音樂合作關系。
