New Editions NWAED011

Monad by Pattern Recognition Machines is Edition No.11 (NWAED011) in the New Editions artist series, curated by New Weird Australia.

Pattern Recognition Machines is an improvising musical unit of human consciousness interfacing with technology based in Melbourne, Australia. Originally the synth-and-drum project of Vijay Thillaimuthu and Sam Price, they have since been augmented by the addition of Chloë Sobek on Violone & electronics and Robert Vincs on Woodwinds.

Discreet and indivisible, we are the ancestors of those most successful in mining patterns. Monad is contingent; patterns emerge from processes of abduction (perceiving unverified patterns in the data) and apophenia (attribution of pattern to a non-pattern) – the dataset resists classification.
