Developed in collaboration with Florian Thalmann, the work explores how a recorded song can remain authored and recognisable while shifting through data-responsive musical, lyrical, and visual variations. Framed as a speculative artwork about personal data and algorithmic personalisation, the talk considers songwriting as a system: a way of composing songs that are responsive, plural, and shaped by changing contexts. SPEAKER: Tracy Redhead is a musician, composer, songwriter, and researcher working across recorded music, interactive technologies, and creative practice. She is Senior Lecturer at the UWA Conservatorium of Music and author of Interactive Technologies and Music Making: Transmutable Music (Routledge, 2024). Her work explores how recorded music can become dynamic, adaptive, and context-aware, informed by her practice as a recording artist and her research into songwriting, data, interaction, and transmutable music.
