Jazz Convention: l’avanguardia è tornata

By Han-earl Park | Published: February 14, 2012

“The avant-garde is back,” according to Romualdo Del Noce at Jazz Convention. In his review of ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531), Han-earl Park improvises a “rugged plateau” and “hyperacid notes”, Franziska Schroeder enriches “the other half of the sax… with a naked and experimental voice, together in harmony and dissonance with parallel and converging streams [...]

JazzWord: AI in an improv session

By Han-earl Park | Published: January 22, 2012

This one’s really interesting. Perhaps not the warmest review (in comparison to, say, those at MusicZoom, CloudsandClocks or Monsieur Délire), maybe not the fairest, but Ken Waxman’s take on ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531) at JazzWord, in which the machine improviser is “unobtrusive and egoless” and “thoughtful pauses” signpost the authentic human, I think is [...]

Baroque and Renaissance (audio clip: io 0.0.1 beta++)

By Han-earl Park | Published: December 19, 2011

Third audio clip (and final in the series) from ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531) below: Excerpted from the track ‘Discovery: Decay’, the clip is taken from what is, for me, an uncharacteristic track on the CD, with its serene, careful and economical counterpoint between saxophonist Franziska Schroeder, me on guitar, and the interactive automaton io [...]

MusicZoom: un inno totale alla modernità

By Han-earl Park | Published: December 13, 2011

‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531) is “total hymn to modernity” according to the wonderful review by Vittorio at MusicZoom. It’s a session in which the human musicians “throw themselves with passion on the ideas from the inanimate object”, and the listener will be “fully repaid by that which is a successful experiment.” Il titolo da [...]

Rui Eduardo Paes: máquina de improvisar

By Han-earl Park | Published: November 29, 2011

Rui Eduardo Paes describes a “fake quartet” in which the organic musicians bring their experience in ‘avant-jazz’ and the “electroacoustics’ border with contemporary music” to the music, and in which the automaton “interactively reacting to what they do and even giving them cues”: Este é um falso quarteto entre uma máquina de improvisar, o io [...]

impressive synergy (audio clip: io 0.0.1 beta++)

By Han-earl Park | Published: November 18, 2011

Second audio clip from ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531) below: Excerpted from the track ‘Discovery: Intermodulation’, the clip features Bruce Coates on sopranino saxophone in duet with the musical automaton io 0.0.1 beta++. One of my favorite moments from the CD, it’s a performance that demonstrates, to quote François Couture, “dismantled gestures, destabilizing timbres, and [...]

standing alone (audio clip: io 0.0.1 beta++)

By Han-earl Park | Published: October 21, 2011

Hear a short clip from ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531) below. The clip, taken from the track ‘Laplace: Perturbation’, features the last minute of the solo by machine improviser io 0.0.1 beta++, and fades out as guitarist Han-earl Park joins it in free play. [More info on the recording…] Thanks to Corey Mwamba and Jonathan [...]

more reviews: experimental, uncompromising, unique man-meets-automaton event

By Han-earl Park | Published: September 12, 2011

Ed Pinsent of The Sound Projector describes the meeting between human and machine improvisers: The guitarist [Han-earl] Park, sometime member of Mathilde 253 whose fine CD impressed us in March this year, is joined by two improvising saxophonists, Bruce Coates (from the Birmingham Improvisers’ Orchestra) and Franziska Schroeder (member of the trio FAINT), and the [...]

CloudsandClocks: disciplina delle scelte

By Han-earl Park | Published: September 4, 2011

Beppe Colli at CloudsandClocks writes a nice review [in English…] [in Italian…] of ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531) in which the “flesh-and-blood musicians” (Han-earl Park, Bruce Coates and Franziska Schroeder) demonstrate “excellent rapport” and “a good dose of telepathy”, while the machine musician (io 0.0.1 beta++) “works as a valuable stimulus for its fellow musicians”: [...]

Monsieur Délire: créature mécanique

By Han-earl Park | Published: August 5, 2011

The “créature mécanique” io 0.0.1 beta++ is “physically present on stage… and it interacts and improvises with the human improvisers.” François Couture’s take on the “faux-quartet” of io with Han-earl Park, Bruce Coates and Franziska Schroeder that appears on the CD ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531): Ce quatuor (ou faux-quatuor, à la limite) propose des [...]
