Fluctuating Melisma is a generative computer-generated multichannel installation by Daniel del Rio and Elias Merino.
The installation has been designed through a huge specific set of original short recordings of a mixed choir, such as single notes, scales, structures, or harmonic progressions whose samples are placed in an exclusive algorithmic system designed for the piece. This system generates the composition autonomously and is diffused through multifocal spatialisation in a loudspeaker choir. This computational system is based in the hybridisation and interpretation of some principles of choral music such as melismatic singing, polychoral music, madrigal, or antiphona.
