ME/MACHINE is an adventure in which human performance and the original power of the drums interact with state-of-the-art generative music technology in real time. Jojo Mayer explores new possibilities and narratives of how humans and digital technology can coexist in a symbiotic way. An artistic approach to an increasingly unpredictable and rapidly approaching future in which reliance on familiar protocols and planning may become more difficult - and improvisation more important instead. Electronic music has been a central influence in Jojo Mayer's work for decades. ME/MACHINE is the next chapter in this love affair. "The initial spark for ME/MACHINE came during an experimental recording session with Brian Eno shortly before the outbreak of the pandemic. I was struck by the impact that generative, algorithmic technologies and AI would have on the future of music and thinking: If I only had a year off, I would go for it. And then when suddenly the world came to a standstill and international touring came to a halt, an unexpected opportunity to fully engage with these new tools, to develop a music machine that follows, interprets and mutates the input of my drumming."
