During his studies as a media computer scientist he followed his motivation to combine his two passions, music and computer science, to see what would come out of it. The end of his time at the university was also the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic, making the online live coding community of TidalCycles the central hub of creative work, live streaming and sharing.

Performance
The performance will be a live coded rock poem in TidalCycles. For this purpose, prepared vocal samples are used, with the lyrics created by ChatGPT. At the end there will be a live set in TidalCycles in which an AI generated story is told with different emotions, which in turn is carried by the use of appropriate harmonies.
