AIM at the RITMO Workshop on Music and AI

From 3rd to 5th March 2025, AIM researchers will participate in the RITMO Workshop on Music and AI. The event, hosted by the RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time, and Motion at the University of Oslo, brings together scholars from AIM, RITMO, and the MUSAiC project at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

MUSAiC at KTH explores AI’s role in music through listening, composition, performance, and critique, aiming to develop human-AI partnerships. RITMO, a Centre of Excellence at the University of Oslo, investigates rhythm as a structuring mechanism in human life, drawing on expertise from musicology, psychology, and informatics.

The programme includes presentations from RITMO, KTH, and AIM/C4DM researchers, hands-on sessions and discussions on AI-driven music technologies, and a visit to RITMO’s facilities.

This event fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and strengthens connections between leading AI and music research institutions.
