In this panel, Gerardo Lopez and Clair Nguyen will discuss various aspects of musical performance that are brought to life through constructed and digital means. The first presenter will focus on a broader history of robot-like singing personas, better described as artificial people, before focusing on the contemporary rise of A.I. singer-songwriters. The second presenter will then dive deeper into how animated musical performances of digital/virtual personas, such as Vocaloid and media mix characters, are mediated through audiovisual relationships between cinematographic techniques and musical content.
