Nexus Sonicus IMP

The Nexus Sonicus IMP group involves composers, programmers and performers  working collaboratively to develop new musical/sonic art approaches and works, particular focused on interaction, generative systems, intelligent agent technology and net/live technologies.  Recent projects have included:

ENACS: Emotion-based non-linear composition system
PIWECS: Public Space Interactive Web-based Evolutionary Composition System
SAGMI: Sensor/Agent Generative Music Installation
HIEMPA: Hybrid Instruments from EA Manipulation & Models of Putorino and Aquascape
GIIMP: Generative Improvisation and Interactive Music

KIMP, our current project, focuses on internationally linked high-speed networks to develop new net/live works that also involves intelligent machine agents and generative systems.  Our studio are fully wired into the KAREN network allowing high-speed audio and digital video and accessible through IPv4 and IPv6 internationally.  Working partners include members of the Syneme Network. Performances are real-time and interactive, such as Mittsu no Yugo and Hikishio and KishiKeisei.
We are editing an upcoming issue of Organised Sound on Networked Electroacoustic Music.
