The Illiac Suite - Music and AI

This time I invited the Italian Alex Braga to talk about his view on artificial intelligence and which role it plays in his works. Braga is a musician, a conceptual artist, an inventor, an enterpreneur. He has already worked with AI in 2020 for his album Spleen Machine. His new project "Automatic Impermanence" is shown until the end of September at the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone in the AuditoriumArte space.

What is The Illiac Suite - Music and AI?

In 1957 a computer of the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign wrote a composition for a string quartet: The Illiac Suite! It was the first time in music history. We have come a long way. The combination artificial intelligence and music is here to stay. We entered a new exciting era of creativity. My name is Dennis Kastrup. I am a journalist from Berlin. And my passion is AI. Let's talk about it. But most of all: Listen to it!
