Increasingly, AI is being used to generate music, literature, and art under the buzzword Generative AI. The lecture deals with the possibilities of automatic generation of music pieces using the example of lute music from the Renaissance. After a short presentation of the lute and its music, the lecture will deal with the following topics:
– Principle operation of AI methods for music generation
– Use of prefabricated models and training of own models
– Presentation of the results of own models with audio examples
– Practical applications, effects and outlook
– Critical examination and discussion of the automatic generation of music
The idea of the lecture is to build a bridge between the cultural techniques of the Renaissance and the most modern technologies of our time. In addition to information about the technology, the lecture is intended to provide stimuli for thinking about basic cultural concepts such as work, author and creativity.
No mathematical knowledge is required for the lecture
Duration: approx. 90 minutes (lecture approx. 60 minutes plus 20-30 minutes for a discussion afterwards).
