GNRTV.CELLS (Generative Cells)

-_- is a 'Toolkit' inspired by the modular synthesizers (which have been so successful in the last decade) in the framework of the algorithmic music, to be able to build Generative* (Algorythmic) instruments (i.e. which can be partially or fully automated inspired by physical and biological models). GNRTV.CELLS Toolkit has applications for : live performance music, New·Media Art projects, Interactive, Immersive installations, Sonic Engines, etc.

Generative, therefore based on physical models and/or biological models. It is worth to remind that although it has some conceptual common concepts with AI, generative methods are inspired by other kind of intelligences and emergency systems with a non anthropocentric perspective.
