If it ain't baroque...

What are you working on these days?

I'm working on synthesised baroque music. In my ongoing research, I am using artificial intelligence to synthesise the voice of Alessandro Moreschi, one of the last castrato singers. He is also the only castrato singer of whom there are recordings dating back to 1902. So, over 120 years later, thanks to AI, we can hear a "real" castrato for the first time.

Deep Histories

What is Deep Histories?

With the Deep Histories project, Hidéo SNES aims to initiate a discourse on ethical design and the use of AI in art. The project blurs the boundaries between reality and artificially generated content and uses (old) familiar media discourses as a metaphor to illustrate the products of generative AI as an independent genre in art with its own aesthetic. The core of "Deep Histories" is the hand-curated multimodal model of the same name by Hidéo SNES, in which the content used for training was either licensed, freely available, or incorporated fairly and on an equal footing with artists.
