The Art of Listening: How Algorithms Are Transforming Music Performances with Larkhall

  • Summary

  • “There is a sense of exploring the recently possible”

    Introducing Larkhall - a trailblazing composer, post-classical pianist, and algorithmic artist. Join Nik and Nigel as they delve into the world of New media art guided by a grandmaster whose performances blend post-classical piano composition with audio-reactive digital art. In so many ways, this episode is a masterclass in how to use diverse fields of knowledge and expertise to create something entirely new and enchanting.

    Larkhall’s distinct post-classical, introspective style draws from three areas: rigorous conservatory training, several years performing in the Chicago indie scene, and a prolific software development career. For the latter, his résumé includes building Apple’s music-recognition app Shazam, as well as co-founding several music and culture apps.

    In performances he uses algorithms that act as artists, etching vivid digital imagery by reacting to what they hear—art that listens, then paints itself… a unique opportunity to encounter the work of a virtuoso.

    Larkhall is a resident at “The Studio” - Bath Spa University's home for innovation, research, and enterprise.
