Transparent Sound 2025 | Filmclub - Judit Varga: Submersus (Premiere)
1 February 2025. 6:00 pm
Budapest Music Center - Library
1093 Budapest, Mátyás utca 8.
In Judit Varga's work human and machine form a virtuosic piano duo: the classical acoustic piano "duels" with the computer-controlled Disklavier.
This human-machine duality also appears in the creation of the visual elements of the piece: the imagery and video material are generated using modern artificial intelligence platforms. Initiated by human ideas (concepts), shaped by machines (ChatGPT – prompts, MidJourney – images, Runway – videos), and completed by human hands (video editing, composition).
Conceptual background: "Submersus" is another piece in the composer’s series of works that explore kinetic energies in musical form. The composer aims to make algorithms, physical phenomena, and movement energies audible.
