Music for AI Audience is a collaborative piece between custom deep learning software and musician. In the piece, multimodal LLM agents observe a performance and let their minds wander through digital archives. The AI audience is able to see and hear the musician, and makes associations accordingly.

The human audience witnesses both the musician and the inner workings of the AI audience as a projection.

The piece is loosely inspired by the 1970s interest in plant sentience and music for plants. It encourages LLM agents, usually used to boost automation and efficiency, to feel and dive into their “psyche”.

The performance is a collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Derek Yau.
