What do we hear as an error?

These pieces began at a Kemble upright piano in Luxembourg: raw performances, mostly improvised, with their hesitations, uneven touch and wrong notes left as they were played. An AI-crafted pipeline in Kaios, an agent system, opens another path through the recordings.

The character of a slip may offer a clue to the difference between human improvisation and AI interpretation. A seamless passage can make that difference harder to hear. A stumble or a smooth phrase alone cannot tell you who made the music.

Listen, compare, then uncover the origins. Notice what you want to keep, and whether the explanation moves you.

Does knowing change the feeling?

Origins stay hidden until the reveal. This is an artwork for listening, not a scientific test. You can skip the questions or change your mind.

Finding your way around

Explore all eight pieces from Dequantize through passages from within the performances. Previous and next excerpt follow a shuffled path across the album. Previous retraces your visits; the excerpt selector explores another passage from the current piece.

Choose a moment on the waveform while the music plays, or mark as you listen. Drag a marker to adjust its time. A written note is optional. Saved moments collapse to a line; open one to read or edit it. A new round keeps your earlier reflections.
