Join us for a workshop at BEK where we dive into an artistic approach to A.I. and neural audio synthesis applied to sound and music. The three-day workshop focuses on the workflow behind training generative AI models and developing an artistic practice using these tools, such as RAVE (Realtime Audio Variational autoEncoder) and open source multi-modal audio generative systems. This workshop offers participants the opportunity to understand and implement the pipeline of neural audio synthesis—from data collection and model training to artistic implementations for sound design and musical expression.
