Metavidan

The musical composition accompanying “MetAvidan,” a trilogy of poems by Eran Hadas, unveils the Markov chain structure that lies within this poetic homage to poet David Avidan. Markov chains, in essence, are mathematical models that capture sequences of events, wherein each event’s outcome hinges solely on the previous occurrence. Eran Hadas employs Markov Chains as a transformative tool, reshaping his texts to birth novel words, inventive grammatical constructs, and twists in syntax. He offers a fresh perspective on language and text by including artificial intelligence in the creative process.

This playful and humorous outcome finds its reflection in the music, creating an engaging interplay between poetry, text, sounds, and musical quotes.
