_derivations is a semi-autonomous software system designed to take part in live improvised encounters with instrumental musicians.

The system listens to the performance of its collaborators, using this information to make decisions about its own contribution to the unfolding musical dialogue.

The resulting interactions are often abstract, intricate and playful, and showcase the unique possibilities afforded by placing both human and machine on an equal footing in performance.

The six tracks collected here were each recorded in a single-take during improvisations with the software over the period 2011-2013.
