Aino Juutilainen – cello / viola da gamba and electronics
Libero Mureddu – piano / synthesizers
Libero Mureddu and Aino Juutilainen improvise together since 2018. Their aesthetic is twofold: on one hand they performs with acoustic instruments exploring ideas related to algorithms and artificial intelligence. Their fascination resides on how nonhuman, machine-generated decisions sometimes seem more surprising and interesting than the ones created by a human mind. On the other hand, the duo uses digital and digitally modified instruments to create peaceful soundscapes that slowly evolve to wild trance-like states. This side of the project is the counterpart of the machine-directed music: here they praise the continuity of the music and the human factor in an otherwise nonhuman and digital sound world.
