Recommenders and Intelligent Tools in Music Creation: Why, Why Not, and How?
Christine Bauer (AT), Peter Knees (AT), Richard Vogl (AT), Hansi Raber (AT)
This workshop will highlight the role of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning-supported composition, and Recommender Systems in the process of music creation. We discuss their reception and prevalent image among professional music producers and creators, including the potential threats these technologies pose to their artistic originality. We contrast this view by emphasizing the power of AI-technology for a democratization of music making, by lowering the entrance barrier of music creation.
Digital Musical Interactions
Koray Tahiroğlu (Fl/TR)
Today digital technologies and advanced computational features, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) tools, are shaping our relationship with music as well as enabling new possibilities of utilising new musical instruments and interfaces. In this workshop, we question, what does our relationship with music and musical instruments look like today?
Computer Music Design and Research – IRCAM Workshop
Jérôme Nika (FR), Daniele Ghisi (IT)
Computer music designer, musician, and researcher Jérôme Nika (FR) will present the generative agents / software instruments DYCI2 that he develops in collaboration with Ircam, and in interaction with expert improvisers. These agents offer a continuum of strategies going from pure autonomy to meta-composition thanks to an abstract “scenario” structure.
The self-reference, Three AI composed Canons
Ali Nikrang (AT)
A musical dialog between the installation Harmonic Bridge by O+A (Bruce Odland/Sam Auinger) and the 4th movement of Anton Bruckner’s First Symphony
The Art of Intelligent Interruption and Augmented Relationships
Harry Yeff (UK) & Domhnaill Hernon (IR), Nokia Bell Labs
Developing disruptive research for the next phase of human existence. What are the narratives that allow the world to embrace Augmented Intelligence and do artists offer an answer? Harry Yeff walks us through his portfolio of interactive installation, creative use of machine learning and vocal performance to explore the concept of intelligent interruption and augmented relationships.
THE VOICE OF THE SEA
Óscar Octavio “Ukumari” (BO), Pataxó de Barra Velha Indigenous community, Porto Seguro, Bahia (BR)
An interactive sonic landscape. By means of a contact-sensitive fishing net, visitors are transported to the seashore where they can compose music with the nature and stories of the Pataxó Indigenous community.
Bruckner meets Highway 2
Sam Auinger (AT)
A musical dialog between the installation Harmonic Bridge by O+A (Bruce Odland/Sam Auinger) and the 4th movement of Anton Bruckner’s First Symphony
384
Valentina Cinquini (IT), Andrea Ummarino (IT), Federico Perinelli (IT), Raphael Schuster (AT), derkleinstePrinz (ES)
384 is a project that combines live music with interactive visual projections. The concept is built upon extemporization, using live improvisation – both musical and graphical. Nobody, not even the artists, can tell what is going to happen. Every performance is unique and unrepeatable. A tribute to being part of a unique, creative artistic experience.
Innen Außen
Wolfgang Dorninger (AT)
Creating a sound space in the interior that overcomes the physics of space is what drives me. To remodel natural sound spaces in the outdoor area, as well. Two completely different sound spaces collide violently in “Inside Outside”. Somewhere the sound space expands, elsewhere the flow is prevented.
Improvisation
Markus Poschner (DE), Rupert Huber (AT), Roberto Paci Dalò (IT)
At this year’s festival Markus Poschner, Rupert Huber and Roberto Paci Dalò, three composers/musicians coming from as distinct areas as classical music or experimental sound art, will improvise together in the Danube park in Linz.
