SUMMARY:Jordan Rudess + jam_bot: A Human-AI Musical Dialogue Performance
LOCATION:Building W18
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, October 3\, 2026\, Jordan Rudess will perform two
  concerts at MIT’s Thomas Tull Concert Hall during the inaugural MIT Fut
 ure Fest alongside musical guests and jam_bot\, an AI model developed with
  Rudess and trained on his playing. At the heart of the concert is a simpl
 e idea: this technology is not here to replace musicians\, but to expand t
 heir creative possibilities and inspire new ways of making music. The conc
 ert will feature the world premiere of Rudess and jam_bot improvising with
  student musicians\, with jam_bot creating music for the performers in rea
 l time. Performances are October 3 at 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Guests atten
 ding either of the two performances are welcome to come 3pm to 8pm to expe
 rience MIT Music Technology demonstrations in the lobby. Attendance to the
  5:00pm performance is included with the MIT Future Fest festival pass. Vi
 sit the MIT Future Fest website for more information and to acquire a pass
 . About the Concert The jam_bot project has been developed over the past t
 hree years in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab during Rudess’s Cente
 r for Art\, Science & Technology Distinguished Visiting Artist residency a
 t MIT. These concerts are a rare opportunity to experience the next chapte
 r of this research project and witness Rudess interact with an advanced re
 al-time system that enables the use of generative AI models in live music 
 performances. Moving from Baroque counterpoint to progressive rock and bey
 ond\, the program will be built around live improvisation. jam_bot is able
  to listen and respond to Rudess in real time\, while also generating musi
 cal material that can be performed by other musicians onstage\, opening th
 e door to new forms of collaborative improvisation. The Yamaha Disklavier 
 pianos featured in the performances are provided by Falcetti Pianos in New
 ton\, Massachusetts.\n\nEvent page: https://www.cre8.xyz/view/event/evt-pr
