Saatgut Proxy is an experimental generative setup in Pure Data that creates both randomized and repeatable pathways through the latent space of two neural audio model architectures (RAVE, vschaos2) at the same time.
The framework is based both on generalized abstractions that I have developed for the Latent Jamming use case and additional prototypes of techniques that I turned into dedicated abstractions later on.
Saatgut Proxy was presented at ArtSearch symposium at ligeti zentrum in Hamburg during a lecture performance and along with a presentation on Latent Jamming and shared human/AI agency in electronic music creation at Storytellers+Machines 2024 conference at SODA (Manchester).
