  • Aalto University researchers Koray Tahiroğlu and Mikael Hokkanen argue that musicians should learn to use artificial intelligence more extensively.
  • Their research combines music, art and technology, including projects for a fashion show and a performance pairing pianist Jukka Nykänen with AI.
  • The researchers say AI can make music more accessible while preserving the importance of human involvement.

Musicians should learn to use artificial intelligence more, argue Aalto University lecturer Koray Tahiroğlu and research assistant Mikael Hokkanen.

Tahiroğlu’s research group studies AI-generated music and combines artistic work with technology. One project created music for a fashion show by Aalto University fashion students in May.

During the winter, the researchers also created a performance in which pianist Jukka Nykänen alternated between playing the piano and playing with artificial intelligence. They say AI can make music more accessible without removing the importance of human participation.
