Prof. Hoffman’s proposal to study human and machine improvisation was selected as one of three fully-funded projects for Cornell’s New York City Visioning initiative.
A collaboration with music professor Mianthi Paplexandri-Alexandri, the project will extend the state-of-the-art in artificial intelligence and music improvisation and promote interdisciplinary conversations through improv workshops with the International Contemporary Ensemble and Theater in Manhattan, a course on improvisational sound machines, and public performances.
