Biography

Move 78 are a Berlin-based band consisting of Doron Segal (keyboards), Nir Sabag (drums), Hal Strewe (bass), Meravi Goldman (French horn) and Aver (sampler/production). The band's music is crafted from hours of studio improvisations that have then been chopped-up, rearranged, and layered with additional strings, flute and horns. This many-layered approach has helps to create the band's signature sound: a balance between free flowing jazz and automated, programmed hip-hop. The band name is inspired by a famous Go match (an ancient Chinese board game) between Lee Sedol, the world champion of Go at the time, and a computer program named AlphaGo. Having been destroyed in the first three games of the five-game match by his AI-powered opponent, Sedol stunned spectators and commentators by adapting and playing a move so strange that it completely baffled AlphaGo and its algorithms, leading the program to scramble for historical data to make sense of it. The move - which represented Sedol's human response adapting to meet the challenges of an ever-evolving technological world - was move 78.
