RBO/SHIFT

EXAUDI-admin — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 12:00:17 +0000

EXAUDI collaborates with the Royal Opera’s Associate Director Netia Jones as part of a four-day festival exploring the shifting boundary between opera and technology. The focus for the first festival is the ever-growing world of artificial intelligence. What can AI offer creatives? And what can creatives offer the world in the age of AI?

Jennifer Walshe has been at the vanguard of experimental composition and AI for many years, and is a leading voice in the imaginative and provocative conversation between AI and classical music.

Walshe uses AI to imagine an alternative early history of Western music. Dadabots, the duo of CJ Carr and Zack Zukowski, trained their neural network on Walshe’s voice, producing 841 files over 40 generations of training. In A Late Anthology of Early Music, Walshe maps these files – examples of how a machine learning system learned to listen to and replicate her voice – onto key works from the Western music repertoire, the system’s understanding of her voice evolving in tandem with the evolution of a newly-constructed music history. This presentation, in collaboration with vocal ensemble EXAUDI, features new versions of canonical works by composers including Hildegard von Bingen, Adam De La Halle, Perotinus, Machaut, Dunstable, Ockeghem, Dowland, Gesualdo and many more.

Sweet stay awhile – Songs around Dowland

EXAUDI-admin — Sat, 16 May 2026 18:45:37 +0000

EXAUDI marks the 400th anniversary of the death of John Dowland with a rich programme centred on his lute songs, both in their original guise for solo voice and in his own arrangements for four voices. Alongside these they sing madrigals by his contemporary Thomas Morley, together with present-day responses and reflections on his music, culminating in the dramatic and moving Song by Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, based on Dowland’s famous Flow my tears.
