Sound learning machines II :AI Audio Workshop for Musicians with ktonal

In an atmosphere of collective collaboration and knowledge sharing, KTONAL members guide participants through a practical discovery of AI-powered sound generation.

In this second edition of KTONAL’s AI Audio Workshops will attempt to kick-start a crowd-sourced composition under the keyword “AI Club Night”. After discussing what such a project could entail as well musically as from the technological side, we will first deepen our python skills by learning how to programmatically search and download audios from YouTube and then, we will use neural networks to regenerate them. 

Musicians, musicologists and artists with all levels of technical background are welcome! We look forward to meet you and welcome you for the first or second time into our growing community of AI-affine musicians.

Furthermore, what technical studies and (if applicable) new notational approaches for melody, rhythm, timbre, and interaction derived from these metaphors can best facilitate this goal?
