MFA 534 Creative Applications of AI

Tools for AI-assisted music creation are currently in a formative state, but considering their rapid rate of advancement it is not unreasonable to expect that in the near future many lower budget projects and library catalogs will be at least partially scored with AI utilities. These are the same projects that today support the early careers of many composers. It is therefore essential that you become familiar with these tools, and that music creators find ways to become their masters rather than their servants. This course is a survey of existing AI technology and includes an analysis of current and future trends for AI-assisted music creation. You will also practice composition utilizing leading AI music platforms.

This course is 3 credits.
