Research
Anna enjoys exploring using data-driven algorithms to create aural and visual art and exploring the way we use technology to complement our creative expression.
She has released two albums as one half of the duo, "dj beep code" which used reinforcement learning and deep belief networks to generate musical stems. These stems were processed and mixed to produce digital instrumental music that is composed algorithmically and made into sound with human collaboration.
- Genesis (available on Spotify, and Apple Music) is a techno-pop inspired first forary into using code to compose music. The title track was also released with lyrics as a collaboration between dj beep code and Tayrn Southern, where Tayrn composed lyrics and remixed the stems, for her album "I AM AI".
- Aleph Null (available on Spotify, and Apple Music) is the cardinality of the infinite set of countable numbers and the inspiration for dj beep code's second album. Aleph Null contains two hours of deeply relaxing music that never ceases to put her family straight to sleep.
Her work has been presented at the NuerIPS Worksop for Machine Learning for Creativity and Design.
