Jazz from the machine, or how to realize a complete CD of pseudo-improvised music through the computer exclusively. This approach presented some risks: jazz music can hardly coexhist together with repetitive deterministic actions, perfect beats and accents, digital timbres either sampled or synthesized hardly support warmth and expressivity. Nevertheless, I have since long time envied the autonomy of a writer or a painter who -alone and without intermediaries- can reach a definitive creation. The ability to have total control over every step: from arrangements to selecting timbres, from improvisations to the mixing and mastering stages, was too tempting to not accept the challenge. After my previous CD "BRAINTRAIN" with Giuseppe Mirabella (Jazzy Records 2012), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9mWghkr_g4 As an electronic engineer, I decided to realize this new work "JexX machina" to demonstrate the possibilities of modern technologies applied to the production of music and in particular improvised music. A sample of this approach including minimalism of the gears with tasteful use of technology can be found in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msxXjWttmz8 From the machine to the listener, all in the box, through full creative process control and with only some added "human" performance by Giuseppe Asero on alto sax. This is JexX machina,
