Experiments in synthetic singing and artificial emotion through playful presentation of the computer as performer. This will be a demonstration and show and tell of the performance and the techniques used to realise it, using what is now vintage digital computers and software.

mr_hopkinson's computer is a project by artist David Hopkinson, that used synthetic cover versions of alt pop classics, and toured extensively throughout the 2000’s, with regular national and international radio play.
