About

Debashis Sinha’s explorations of how his Bengali heritage can manifest through the tool set of contemporary electronic music continues with this livestream performance. “Adeva (version000_01)” is a project started in 2019 at the MUTEK JP AI Music Lab, where Sinha began exploring machine learning and AI and their applications in sound, and where he realized their use as a dramaturgical tool in the story-based explorations and re-imaginings of Hindu myth Sinha has been creating for nearly 2 decades. The text and sound world of the Vedas (Hindu scriptures) is subjected to machine learning algorithms and processes to create content that lies just beyond the reach of human comprehension - a piecing together of half-understood and half-perceived bits of wisdom that is reconstructed by Sinha, and the listener in the moment of performance.

The performance will be live-streamed over YouTube with Q&A discussion taking place afterwards on the Whereby web-conferencing platform. Discussion link available with advanced registration. Optional donation of $10 can be made with registration. https://naisa.ca/purchase-tickets/

The performance is a co-presentation of New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) and Charles Street Video.
