Description

This interdisciplinary course explores the transformative intersection between artificial intelligence and music, highlighting how computer systems are changing the way music is composed, performed and received. Students will explore the technical foundations of AI in a musical context and critically engage with the profound aesthetic, cultural and philosophical questions that these technologies raise.

The course bridges the gap between computer science and musicology, providing students with both practical understanding and critical thinking skills to analyze the role of AI in the contemporary and future musical landscape. From algorithmic composition to AI-powered performance systems, from music recommendation engines to synthetic voice generation, we explore how machine learning and neural networks are not just tools but active participants in the creative process.
