In this episode of softmax, I sit down with Moises Horta Valenzuela, aka Hexorcismos, an innovative artist and technologist based in Berlin. Moises has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music and AI since the 2010s. His journey from the experimental sound music scene in Tijuana to the forefront of generative AI in music is something I found very inspiring. We dive into his early work with ambient music and his band Los Macuanos, exploring how these experiences have shaped his current projects.
Moises shares fascinating insights into his most recent works, including the album “Okachihuali”, the neural synthesizer “Semilla”, and the collaborative project “Mutualismx”. He explains how he uses generative AI to reinterpret traditional music forms, create new sonic textures, and expand the creative potential of musicians. We discuss the conceptual and philosophical frameworks behind these projects, emphasizing the importance of community and collective intelligence in leveraging AI's creative possibilities.
We also dive into the technical aspects of Moises's work, such as latent space interpolation and the use of neural networks in music synthesis. His approach to blending traditional musical influences with cutting-edge AI technologies provides a unique perspective on the future of music creation. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone interested in the intersection of music, technology, and AI. Enjoy this deep dive into the wonderfully stochastic world of Hexorcismos!
