We Revolutionize Music Education: The Neuromusic Education Simulator (NES)
Gerald Wirth (AT), Wiener Sängerknaben/VIve Kumar (IN), Athabasca University (US)
In cooperation with developmental psychologists and pedagogues, Professor Gerald Wirth developed his engagement-centric teaching methodology – the wirth method – aiming at constant high-level student attention. Through neuronal networks activated when using movement to support teaching and through repetitions with variations, contents are sustainably stored in the long-term memory. The use of NES based on the wirth method applying VR & AR allows teachers and students in addition to personal tuition, to practice, gain experience and receive feedback.
ACIDS: Artificial Creative Intelligence
Philippe Esling (FR)
The Artificial Creative Intelligence and Data Science (ACIDS) team at IRCAM seeks to model musical creativity by targeting the properties of audio mixtures. This studies the intersection between symbol (score) and signal (audio) representations to understand and control the manifolds of musical information.
ARTificial Banality, The Faking of Looking, and Alchemical Gaming
Baoyang Chen (CN)
This project explores the ontological dichotomies among us, technology and society by again questioning if machine can think. A brain in the vat craves to be awakened.
Automatic Music Generation with Deep Learning – Fascination, challenges, constraints
Ali Nikrang (AT)
In recent years, there has been a great deal of academic interest on applying Deep Learning to creative tasks such as for generating texts, images or music with fascinating results. Technically speaking, Deep Learning models can only learn the statistics of the data. Thus, they often can learn relationships in the data that human observers have not been aware of, and can therefore serve as a new source of inspiration for human creativity. This workshop focuses on current technical approaches for automatic music generation.
Creating interactive audio systems with Bela
Andrew McPherson (UK)
The workshop will provide an introduction to Bela, an open-source embedded hardware platform for creating interactive audio systems. Participants will get a hands-on introduction to building circuits and programming using Bela, following a series example projects to introduce the basis of building real-time audio systems.
Legal framework for STARTS Collaborations
FRI 6.9. | 15:15 – 16:45 Based on successful examples from realized projects, panel participants discuss the suitable conditions for a legal framework for interdisciplinary collaboration projects, including new business models, different legal options and intellectual property rights.
In Posse
Charlotte Jarvis (UK)
SAT 7.9. | 15:45 – 16:15 In Posse is a work in progress. Artist Charlotte Jarvis is collaborating with Prof Susana Chuva de Sousal Lopes in Leiden, Biotehna / Kersnikova Institute in Ljubljana and MU Gallery Eindhoven to make the world’s first “female” semen. Workshop participants are invited to help Charlotte form the project at this early stage.
AI-Pop. Walking sound-knowledge-base
Werner Jauk (AT)
It is the bodily experience of sound that determines its structuring: sound brings the body in motion leading to e-motion generating sound – interaction leads to a collective and collectivizing dynamic soundstream of being “communis.”
Expert Tour: HybridNature
Dr. Friedrich Schwarz (AT)
The Expert Tour HybridNature explores this exciting question: Where are the limits of our knowledge? Are lichens plants or fungi? The focus is on the plants, the actual “rulers” of this world.
Women reclaiming AI
Birgitte Aga (NO), Coral Manton (UK)
SAT 7.9. | 13:00 – 14:30 Women Reclaiming AI invites you to take part in a workshop designing an alternative AI Voice Assistant created by a growing community of self-identifying women (trans, intersex and cis) and all nonbinary, agender and gender variant people.
