Interro Quartet AI Initiative
Event Information
About this event
This presentation will spotlight Artificial Intelligence' growing capabilities in composing music and showcase our research, generously funded by the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts. Interro Quartet has been collaborating with composers, music theorists, and computer scientists to develop an AI that can be used for a Musical Turing Test that aims to determine whether or not AI-generated music is indistinguishable from those of human composers. Following a performance of commissioned works by composers Roydon Tse, Erica Procunier, Matthew Emery, and Abigail Richardson-Schulte, we will present on the development of our own music generating AIs, spotlighting its immense potential as well as its obvious shortcomings. These discussions will set the stage to discuss how AIs and the emergence of other advance technologies, such as NFTs, will revolutionize the music industry, breaking ground for a new marketplace in which technology works for rather than against music creators. It is time for musicians to have a say in how technology is used in the industry - if not now, then when?
