Many thanks @medialab for sharing this interview with @CMA_Tweets on AI+Music. It is such a pleasure doing exploring this field and making experiments with the Media Lab community and with @operafuture. Things are moving so fast; all (musical) hands on deck!
In an interview with @cma_tweets, @operafuture head @todopera talks about AI and music: "We need to put context and knowledge back into these systems before they become so prevalent and so closed off that you can’t shape them anymore," he says. chambermusicamerica.org/arti…

Such a pleasure to do this interview on AI and music with you, @schmidr17! Thanks for taking the time to chat and to talk together about these huge changes which are coming to music, ones that all of us need to shape for a positive, productive, human-centered outcome.
“What’s going on in A.I. is like a major, major difference, conceptually, in how we think about music and who can make it.” @todopera @CMA_Tweets #AI #music chambermusicamerica.org/arti…

What a special honor and pleasure to perform Overstory Overture last night in Seoul with @JoyceDiDonato, Earl Lee and @SejongSoloists. One of the most wonderful musical experiences I can remember!!!
What a gift the exceptional @SejongSoloists have given the world by commissioning Tod Machover's "Overstory Overture". Bringing this piece home to Seoul for its Korean premiere is a true honor.
