Abstract

This growing collection of music consists of compositions in various styles inspired by and incorporating the sacred writings of the Bahá'í Faith. Musically, the styles range from classical orchestration, a capella choir, pop ballads, electronica and rock n roll.
Many of the pieces employ an AI "singer" system - Synthesiser V, which allows the pieces to have high quality vocals. Other pieces are recorded by Tara Makerere. While the AI is not involved in composition. The use of an AI in this way allows a compositional approach that is embedded in performance, not unlike the techno-creative processes of using sample-based orchestration. The approach was presented at the Artistic Program at ISEA2024 (International Symposium of Electronic Arts). In addition, AI (MidJourney) is used to create imagary for the video element of these pieces.
