Shimon – The Improvising Robotic Musician

We are pleased to announce a very exciting addition to our Sounds Human exhibition at this year's Bumbershoot Festival: Shimon – The Improvising Robotic Musician. You will be able to meet and interact with Shimon, a robot who can to listen to, recognize, play, and improvise music using melodic and harmonic perception and improvisation algorithms.

This will be Shimon's debut West Coast performance -- so mark your calendars for our opening reception on September 3!

And pay no attention when Stephen Colbert says that Shimon is only "pretending" to like jazz...
