The Shadow Hand

An AI accompanist that listens to Karel's real piano recording and plays a complementary second voice in real time. It follows his score — tracking each attack, the pitch he lands on, and the tempo he implies — then answers below him, entering in the gaps and resting when his hands are full. Two flows of light: his playing, and the hand that shadows it.
