Mouja, or The Magnetic Ouija, is a performance focusing on odd physical and temporal causalities. At the core of the piece are Thales and Stacco, two instruments based on magnets and developed at the Intelligent Instruments Lab. Through the playfulness, unpredictability and tactility of their magnetic interactions, these two instruments are helping me exploring new sonic and gestural territories leveraging Neiral Audiop Synthesis..

Mouija is a first-person investigation of the instruments' ergodynamics, of their composed nature and of the semantics that emerge out of their combination with AI. In this acousmatic piece, the opaqueness of the AI models and the elusive nature of the magnetic interactions find a suggestive parallel in the idea of a seance session, in which the social relationships hidden within the datasetreveals themselves as traces.

The following is a binaural version from the premiere of the piece at Fabrika Sztuki, Poland. In its original form, the piece si for Ambisonics setup. Headphones rercommended.
