Musical Innovation in the Age of AI

Wed, Nov 4 · 6:00 PM National Museum of American History · National Mall

For centuries, composers have drawn on their inherent creativity to generate new music. Now, songwriters can work with AI-powered software to help them improvise and develop variations on their ideas. How does the composer’s work change in the age of AI? Will audiences embrace music composed (in part) by computers? In this free public program, we invite a traditional composer and an expert in computational creativity to sit at the piano—and at the laptop—to explore the possibilities and pitfalls of AI-assisted songwriting. A book signing will follow. Speakers: inti figgis-vizueta & Maya Ackerman Moderator: David Hajdu

Welcome to AskAlice

Hi, I'm Alice.

I go out a lot around DC, Virginia and Maryland, and I got tired of losing hours to Instagram Stories and a dozen venue calendars just to find out what was happening. So I built this to do that watching for me — real, confirmed events pulled from hundreds of sources, sorted so you can find your night instead of hunting for it.
