“Philosophy of Artificial Music. Algorithms, Machine Learning, Data” (Nantes Université, France)

The tradition of algorithmic music, which aims to design explicit and interpretable algorithms for generating music, has long been the primary provider of artificial music. But the rise of machine learning changes the game by making it possible to employ implicit but opaque algorithms—trained on datasets but whose details, by design, elude direct human understanding. It is this new tension that we aim to explore in this international conference. What changes does machine learning, and especially deep learning, bring to how musicians, listeners, and philosophers create, appreciate, and think about music?
