CIRCE

A documentary short by Judith Deschamps: in the basements of IRCAM, human voices are blended with AI to reconstruct the near-supernatural vocal range of the 18th-century castrato Farinelli.

In the basements of IRCAM, researchers attempt to reinvent an 18th-century aria that the Italian castrato Farinelli sang nightly to the King of Spain to soothe his melancholy. Using artificial intelligence, different human voices blend to reconstruct the singer’s near-supernatural vocal range.
