AI meets Live Performance

DeLaurentis, a DJ and producer based in Paris, incorporates AI into her electronic compositions, utilizing AI-generated vocals and real-time processing. She developed a unique approach where real-time vocal improvisation generates visual shapes and colours, creating a dynamic dialogue between human and machine.

Her latest work, Sinvocea, is a visual instrument that explores the intersection of sound and image, transforming performances into ephemeral moments of research and expression. By using AI to “draw” with her voice, she expands the boundaries of live performance and synesthetic creativity,

She posted this teaser on TikTok,
