ensemble – volkslied 3000

Commissioned by Kommen&Gehen Festival for the Volklied3000 project, in which an artificial intelligence algorithm writes lyrics based on a title, year and region. If I remember correctly, we told the AI to write in Berlin style in the year 2100 and “Ich Habe Mich Selbst Getroffen” translates to “I have met myself”.

Written by João Orecchia and Tsepo Pooe
Adelle Nqeto – voice
João Orecchia – electronics
Tsepo Pooe – cello
