Co-Creativity in Music, Sound, and AI: Improvisation · Interaction · Composition
UC Riverside – Culver Center of the Arts
June 5–6, 2026
Artificial intelligence is transforming how we compose, perform, listen to, and think about music and sound. From real-time improvisation systems to generative audiovisual environments, creative agency is increasingly shared between human and computational actors.
Co-Creativity in Music, Sound, and AI explores these transformations, with a special focus on Somax2 (IRCAM’s AI-driven improvisation system) and other machine-learning–based tools for music and audiovisual art. The conference brings together scholars, composers, performers, technologists, and media artists to reflect on co-creativity as a relational, hybrid process distributed across humans, machines, and environments.
The program includes paper sessions, artistic presentations, concerts, workshops, and a keynote lecture by Katherine Hayles, addressing posthuman subjectivity, nonconscious cognition, and distributed agency in human–AI systems.
