Quantum Fantasy: What Gets Measured Gets

“Quantum Fantasy: What Gets Measured Gets” is a concert performance work and installation for live improvising performer and an intelligent computer system that is capable of making music on its own but its flow of musical decisions are disrupted by hand motions by the performer, seen by a camera. Rather than giving the performer control over the computer system, this forces a delicate and playful relationship between the performer and the system, shifting the performer’s mindset from commanding to listening intently and only interacting with careful strategy, ready to interact again if needed to re-steer the musical flow in case the first interaction resulted in flowing in a less desirable direction.
