This first workshop session offers an advanced course on Neural Networks for music composition taught by Mantautas Krukauskas and Nicola Privato.

The workshops take place at Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music (JVLMA) in the week of September 16. - 21., with an introductory zoom meeting on September 10. The education programme is aimed at composers and composition students and is free of charge with required registration. Registered participants will be informed exact locations of workshop sessions and schedule updates before the event. Attendees will also receive a free ticket to a festival concert.

Nicola Privato:
Neural Audio Synthesis, Compositional and Performative Strategies.

Nicola Privato is a PhD researcher at The Intelligent Instruments Lab ( http://iil.is/ ) in Reykjavik, Iceland, where he delves into how artificial intelligence is reshaping culture and social interactions through music practice. He will present a workshop in neural audio synthesis and interfaces for the technique, based on his research ( https://nicolaprivato.com/papers ).

This workshop provides an in-depth exploration of Neural Audio Synthesis (NAS) techniques and their applications in contemporary music composition and performance. Participants will gain a solid understanding of the historical context, technical foundations, and practical usage of NAS tools, such as RAVE. Through hands-on tutorials and project development, attendees will learn to create and manipulate audio data, develop custom models, and integrate NAS into their artistic practices.

Mantautas Krukauskas:
Composition and Sound Design with AI.

Mantautas Krukauskas is a composer and sound artist, Associate Professor at the Department of Composition of Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre in Vilnius, where he is also a co-founder and Head (since 2016) of Music Innovation Studies Centre ( https://lmta.lt/en/padalinys/muzikos-inovaciju-studiju-centras/ ), academic lab for studies, art and research, with a focus on music technology, innovation in music and music education, interactive arts, and immersive media.
This workshop provides a comprehensive exploration of computer-assisted composition and co-creation with AI. Through lectures, discussions, and hands-on workshops, attendees will learn to use Composer's Assistant, an AI tool for multi-track MIDI composition, and explore the human-AI collaboration.

SWRL is a platform for contemporary music, performed within an immersive multichannel sound environment. We foster the creation and exploration of immersive sound environments of contemporary electro-acoustic music. We commission the creation of new musical works with a close focus on the composition of spatial aspects of sound. Our vision is to create an optimal listening space for the experience of contemporary sound within an immersive environment, where sounds are free to travel in three dimensions of space, 360 degrees of position, and elevation.
