Another batch of links for you. One of the stranger links this week is about how a Violinist Taps Artificial Intelligence to Interact With Her Unique Sound. I find myself reluctant to dig into that story, having once attended an “experimental” violin concert, from which we fled in agony as soon as possible (they didn’t give us an intermission, so all we avoided was the reception afterwards, but still). Enjoy the links!
