Today's lecture in the Distinguished Lecture Series on Music and Digital Humanities taking place at the mdw — University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna will be given by David De Roure (University of Oxford)

"AI and Creativity in Music"

Abstract: It may feel like the AI world has just discovered music, but there have been decades of research in music and AI. When we look at humans improvising live with AI we are asking fundamental questions about what it means to be a creative human interacting in a world infused by AI, and this is a question that transcends music. This talk will present some explorations of this question through projects with the Centre for Practice & Research in Science & Music (PRiSM) at the Royal Northern College of Music, featuring AI in both composition and performance.

Bio: David De Roure is Academic Director of Digital Scholarship and Professor of e-Research at the University of Oxford. He has co-founded multiple interdisciplinary centres, including the Centre for Practice and Research in Science and Music (PRiSM) at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and the UK Software Sustainability Institute. David's research is at the intersection of music, maths, machines and AI, empowering the creative human in music composition and performance. David is also an advisor on digital research infrastructures, and has been involved in running the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School since 2011.

The lecture will start at 17:00 (Vienna/CET) and take place at the Bankettsaal, mdw Campus.
