"Krell Infinity Functor" is a piece composed for the MAT End of Year Show (EYoS) 2023.  Two parallel processes are interleaved:  one that layers microtonal drones by iterating across an infinite integer sequence, and another that generates synthetic audio by performing vector interpolation in a 16-dimensional latent space.
Oscillator drones were implemented in SuperCollider using a variation of Per Nørgård's "Infinity Series" applied to various n-EDO scales. 
Synthetic audio (used for granulation and wavetables) was generated from IRCAM's real time variational autoencoder (RAVE).  A special Python interface using PyTorch was constructed to traverse different paths through the latent space and to perform interpolations between selected tensors.
