About the event
What happens when an algorithm starts composing? Can a machine create music that truly moves us? And how does that change the role of the artist, the listener, even our very idea of creativity?
RADAR Festival Beyond Music invites you to a special conference exploring the relationship between artificial intelligence and music, not as science fiction, but as something that’s already shaping the way we create and experience sound.
Expect bold questions, personal stories, hands-on demos, and real conversations – where technology and creativity meet face-to-face.
