Donohue+ is a performer-specific improvising system, developed with Sam Gillies, that thinks in my own improvisational logics and plays alongside me on a Disklavier. It acts as both companion and provocateur: not a generic tool but an individualised partner, feeling intuitive yet unpredictable.

The work blurs the hierarchy between soloist and accompaniment, and asks what improvisation becomes when it is no longer an exclusively human practice. It was developed for the Organised Sound special issue on the sonic and electronic in improvisation, and premiered at Leeds Light Night at the University of Leeds.
