長らくベルリンを拠点に活動してきたパフォーマー・足立智美が2020年以来続けてきた、AIの画像生成による楽器デザインプロジェクト。初めて具体的楽器として展覧会で展示された奇妙な楽器群を使った演奏をリリース！

- 画像生成AIが学習しているのは、人間の作った楽器の画像であるが、どのように音を出しているかを理解しているわけではない。しかしそれを理解していないのではなく、人間と違ったやり方で理解している、と考えるのが私のすべてのAIプロジェクトの前提である。
AIによる楽器デザインは、人間のためではなくAIのための楽器なのだ。

したがってこのプロジェクトでは、AIがデザインした楽器をできるだけ正確に物体として製作し、その楽器にふさわしい演奏法を読解し、そこから音楽を引き出している。人間（この場合は私）がAIの方に歩み寄らなければならない。それはAIにとっての身体とは何かという、未だほとんど考えられてこなかった領域に踏み込むことになる。作られた楽器は４つ、名前はAIとの相談でつけられた。

"古い未来の楽器と 新しい昔の楽器"は、金沢アートグミ15周年記念展覧会として2024年5月27日から8月4日にかけて開催された。展覧会では楽器自体とそれを演奏している動画を４チャンネルのオーディオ・ヴィジュアル・インスタレーションとして展開した。このCDに収められているのは、展示された４つの楽器による録音で、最後のトラックだけが多重録音を使用している他は、各楽器のソロ演奏である。楽器の製作：大村大悟。- ライナーノートより

“Old Instruments From the Future, New Instruments From the Past” CD
Edition OMEGA POINT OPX-016

- I began exploring instrument design through AI-generated images as early as 2020, but the explosive rise of generative AI in 2023 allowed me to experiment with a wider variety of prompts more easily. As a result, I accumulated a collection of images depicting instruments that could potentially be constructed in the real world.

While generative AI learns from images of instruments created by humans, it does not inherently understand how these instruments produce sound. However, my premise for all of my AI projects is to assume that AI comprehends the concept of musical instruments in a way distinct from human understanding. AI-designed instruments are not created for humans but rather as instruments for AI itself.

Therefore, this project involves faithfully constructing physical versions of instruments designed by AI, interpreting the playing methods suitable for these instruments, and drawing music from them. In this process, humans —in this case, myself— must adopt AI, not the other way around. This approach delves into a largely unexplored realm: what "body" means for AI.
Four instruments were created for this project, with their names decided in consultation with the AI.

The exhibition, "Old Instruments From the Future, New Instruments From the Past#(and Characters)((by Artificial Intelligence))," was held from May 27 to August 4, 2024, as the 15th-anniversary celebration of Kanazawa Art Gummi. The exhibition featured the instruments themselves alongside videos of their performances, presented as a four-channel audiovisual installation.
The instruments, excluding their electronic components, were constructed by Daigo Ohmura. - from liner note
