Somax2 is a cognitively inspired multi-agent AI system based on a reactive machine-listening component, smart interaction policies and a corpus-based generative engine. It creates machine improvisation flows that continuously maintain some form of coherence with the musical content of the corpuses it's been trained on and the signals it receives from the musicians on stage. Somax2 agents can listen to each other as well, so as to create networks of virtual performers with both autonomy and attention to the ever-evolving musical context. The model accepts a variety of real-time controls acting on its generative process and interaction strategies, making it a digital instrument, or it can be easily scripted to fit in a compositional scheme. Somax2 is implemented in Max with a backend Python server, available as a user-friendly applicative patch or full-featured Max library for advanced Max programmers, online documentation and tutorials, video tutorials and demos and lots of videos documenting concerts and residences.

Somax2 Workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
ICMC BOSTON 2025 will also offer a half-day workshop hosted <\/a>by the REACH people, G\u00e9rard Assayag, Marco Fiorini and Mikhail Malt, for participants interested in coming together to learn about or enhance their knowledge of Somax2 through a series of interactive activities and discussions. Participants will engage in practical demonstrations and exercises on Somax2, with the goal of participating in a late-night Club Concert featuring improvisation and composed works employing Somax2 (date and time to be announced).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
