Ein sehr informativer Bericht über unsere letzten Konzerte mit den Kompositionsstudierenden von @MoritzEggert an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater München, bei denen das KI-Modell Ricercar für die Auseinandersetzung mit KI und Komposition eingesetzt wurde.

Over two nights, the Brainlab HQ Atrium was transformed into a stage filled with music made in a completely new & innovative way, a composition created by AI. 🤖 🎻🎭 Thanks to the @Munich_Phil & everyone involved! More here: bit.ly/3CIMV6A 📸 Brainlab and Oliver Bodmer

#BiennaleMusica2024 | Recap 12 A great public acclaim greeted the 68th International Festival of Contemporary Music and its Director, #LuciaRonchetti, “demiurge and master” of an edition in which “every event was a privilege”. The AI-generated piano improvisation ABSOLUTE HALLUCINATION by @an_nikrang, the meeting with #SalvatoreSciarrino and the two concerts in the extraordinary spaces of the Biblioteca Marciana and the Basilica di San Marco: #AbsoluteMusic closes with a parure of truly unforgettable activities, crowned in the end by the Italian Conservatoire Students Jury Prize.

Deutsche Behörden erwarten vom russischen Komponisten Vladimir Tarnipolski, nach Russland zu reisen, um sein Visum zu verlängern – das würde für den oppositionellen Künstler aber gefährlich. Ein offener Brief verlangt Hilfe von der deutschen Politik. backstageclassical.com/oppos…

Was cleaning up notes, then found one with the entire Llama3 arch on 1 page of maths! Cool bits: 1) Input embeds are a matrix sampling op like in randomized linalg 2) RoPE embeds are a rotation matrix mult & 2 hadamards (element wise mult) 3) I simplified Multihead Attn without the reshaping 4) SwiGLU and Attn residuals are similar with a down/output projection Our @UnslothAI code base for Llama3 sadly isn't as elegant - github.com/unslothai/unsloth…, since we're squeezing every part to make finetuning 2x faster and use 70% less VRAM :)

Auch ein kurzer Kommentar von mir zu den jüngsten Entwicklungen im Bereich KI und Musik #hmtm @ArsElectronica
Die KI kann jetzt auch Textaufforderungen in Songs und Videos umwandeln, außerdem menschliche Stimmen fast perfekt klonen. Können Kreative bald einpacken? fr.de/kultur/gesellschaft/da…
