When you hear the music that comes out of data, you could be pleasantly surprised.

Turning data into tunes is what electronic duo Random Brothers by Blood does, as shown during an Instagram Live session hosted by Goethe-Institut.

Composed of Randy Danistha of Nidji band and his younger brother Nara Anindyaguna, the duo experimented with audio and visual data on hand at their studio, creating a sort of live performance themed around looping.

Using a sampler, Nara explained they had made a “speech performance” by looping their own voices into a network system using data.

“Some can say that it is art, and others would say that it is acousmatic [heard without being seen],” Nara said. “The concept of this performance is that you are watching data — we are inside a computer, in the form of network and pixels.”

Randy said the duo made music using random data and concepts — hence the name — but harmonizes them into a singular composition.
