| Haile |
Haile is a robotic percussionist that can listen to live players, analyze their music in real-time, and use the product of this analysis to play back in an improvisational manner. It is designed to combine the benefits of computational power and algorithmic music with the richness, visual interactivity, and expression of acoustic playing. We believe that when collaborating with live players, Haile can facilitate a musical experience that is not possible by any other means, inspiring players to interact with it in novel expressive manners, which leads to novel musical outcome. Two pieces were composed for Haile, "Pow" for a robotic and human percussionist playing a Native American Pow Wow drum, and "Jam'aa", for a Middle Eastern drum circle and a robotic percussionist (Gil Weinberg, Scott Driscoll).
