Björk creates an AI composition that creates music that creates music to the weather

This week Microsoft announced a new collaboration with Björk to create a series of musical compositions with a custom built artificial intelligence tool. The AI will create dynamic new variations of Björk's original arrangements based on the changing weather patterns and position of the sun . Called'Kórsafn,' which means'choir archive' in Icelandic, the composition will be played continuously in the lobby of Sister City, a hotel in New York's lower east side that opened in the spring of 2019.
