A work in progress

Oracle Song is a new music performance by award-winning artist Melanie Wilson that collaborates with an AI machine learning tool to explore the conflicted terrain of human and animal relationships through sound.

This poetic, intricate listening experience weaves language, multi-part vocal composition, field recording and electronic sound together to map the fragmentary experience of the biodiversity crisis with kaleidoscopic force.

Collaborating with endangered animal voices from the UK and beyond, the score was developed through a five-year research process into machine learning for composition, supported by PRiSM at RNCM.

Oracle Song seeks to take the audience from a place of climate anxiety and grief into a shared landscape of listening and connection.
