POSTCITY, AIxMusic Workshop Stage

In recent years, the academic interest in applying deep learning to creative tasks such as generating text, images or music has drastically increased. These workshops offer everyone the opportunity to try out the AI systems used for making and playing music. Andrew McPherson will present Bela, an open-source embedded hardware platform for creating interactive audio systems. The second workshop by Ali Nikrang focuses on current technical approaches to automatic music generation. Next, Alex Braga introduces A-MINT, the first artificial intelligence to enter conservatories and music institutions as a separate instrument to be learned alongside traditional musical instruments. Philippe Esling, researcher from the IRCAM will present an AI-trained glove that can orchestrate sounds in real time, empowering anyone, including non-musicians, to create their own music. The AIxMusic Workshops series will close with Gerald Wirth from the Wiener Sängerknaben and Vive Kumar from Athabasca University showing their latest research on teaching music with AI. Participants will have the chance to experience the NES (neuromusic education simulator) a revolutionary tool based on the Wirth Method.
