IOM-AIM Research has been working in the last months on a new interactive intermedia work called:
"DMMEEKG and the presentation of JOMMIE"
(DMMEEKG - Dat Moet Maar Eens Een Keer Gedaan" Misha Mengelberg 2001), a coproduction of Studio LOOS/IOM-AIM Research and the David Kweksilber Big Band.
First performance 17th February 2018 at the BIMhuis Amsterdam, 20:30 hrs.
A variety of re-known artists connected to Studio LOOS The Hague and the IOM-AIM Research cooperate in "DMMEEKG and the presentation of JOMMIE":
Peter van Bergen (concept, composition, live performance) Johan van Kreij (software programming, live performance)
Petra Dolleman (live visuals performance)
Darien Brito (computer visuals assistance)
Dario Giustarini (technical realisation)
And of course there is on the 17th the unbeatable David Kweksilber Big Band with again an adventurous program
Since the end of 2013 Van Bergen and Van Kreij have an artistic dialogue and work together in the IOM-AIM Research. IOM-AIM researches interactive computer music improvisation with as a starting point improvisation defined as “an unstable and unpredictable activity” (Van Bergen).
Van Bergen researches definitions, notions and concepts of musical improvisation and composition and their relationship, communication, interaction, instability and transformation and discusses the outcomes with Van Kreij. The role of Van Kreij in the research is the development of specialized software realizing computer aided interaction for performance. This development can be described as an ongoing refinement and implementation of a musical language and musical interaction. At the core of the system, that can be described as a collection of agents, is the analysis of input and a variety of generative processes that create distinct musical responses. Ultimately IOM-AIM should be an (software) environment in which computers and humans cooperate, interact, communicate and generate.
