AI and musical creativity

Together with the Hamburg Open Online University, the ligeti zentrum will be exploring the topic of artificial intelligence and music in a lecture and four musical performances on November 12.

Dr. Jonas Bozenhard will kick things off with a keynote speech exploring the potential and limits of generative AI with regard to musical creativity. The postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Ethics in Technology will shed light on both technical aspects and philosophical considerations on creative creation by machines.

In the first musical contribution of the evening, the composition Voiceshopping by Genoël von Lilienstern, the voice becomes a musical instrument with the help of an AI autoencoder. The AI is trained with voice recordings by Carola Schaal. The clarinettist explores the sound of her own voice with clarinet tones and, conversely, triggers clarinet sounds with her voice.

Afterwards, Denis Połeć's piece Remix shows how new things can be created by changing and appropriating existing materials.

In La fabbrica dei monstri, Alessandro Anatrini uses iterative AI processes to alter Vivaldi's music in such a way that the end result is a heavily alienated version of the original - sonic "monsters" that invite us to take a new perspective.

The final section is Generative Generation by Greg Beller and Georg Hajdu. Historical and modern generative models merge into a musical performance. Different eras and technological approaches come together and create a fascinating soundscape through the interaction of musician and machine.

An event of the Hamburg Open Online University and the ligeti center as part of Hamburger Horizonte.
