Abstract:

This graphic score was created using MidJourney version 3, a commercially available artificial intelligence system that generates images from text-based prompts. Using text prompts provided by Schedel, Yager’s AI account produced a series of visuals, which the authors then refined and organized into a score for performance. Musicians are invited to interpret these images, transforming elements such as color, shape, and direction into sound.Each performer establishes their own set of rules for this translation, maintaining consistency within a performance but allowing for variation between performances. This ensures that every interpretation is unique, offering a fresh perspective on the visual-to-sonic conversion. Performers navigate the score one part at a time, without overlapping, and the score can be projected to enhance audience engagement. This piece explores the dynamic interaction between AI-generated visuals and human musical interpretation, encouraging an evolving dialogue between sight, sound, and computational creativity.The piece can be exhibited and/or performed.
