It's called la Machine à Tubes, but there's no guarantee it'll ever produce a single tune. Fed with melodies and themes composed by the artist, the AI delves into them to create new content.
The audience is invited to interact with the machine by making choices and sharing their mood to influence the generation of new songs.
