Friday, 29 March

Laura Agnusdei is an Italian saxophonist and student of The Hague’s Institute of Sonology. Classically trained, her compositions star the saxophone in a leading role and fuse acoustic, digital and analogue sound sources to craft verdant sonic landscapes that shift between melody and texture, traditional song form and improvisation. As part of the Instrumental Shifts Symposium, Laura Agnusdeiwill debut a new performance based on the output of Bob Sturm’s Folk RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) project, melding traditional instrumentation with experimental electronics and demonstrating the catalysing creative potential of generative systems.
