World premiere of Franz Danksagmüller's opera NOVA - IMPERFECTING PERFECTION in Dortmund. Directed by Kay Link and Oscar-nominated movie director Virgil Widrich.

The score is largely based on the never-ending, transcendental and irrational number π, from which various melodies, rhythms and tuning systems are derived. Live electronics modulate the voices of the singers and the sound of the viola with the number π and various algorithms, acoustically expanding and connecting them with virtual sound generators. At the same time, Franz Danksagmüller works with various sonifications – tonal translations of data derived from human existence: economic cycles, climate cycles, data relating to human interactions, etc. A sonification enables Nova and the listening audience to apprehend and experience the cycles in a sensory way. Finally, artificial intelligence creates music: based on Hidden Markov Chains, algorithms themselves perform live composition based on sets of predetermined rules.
