Art, AI & JavaScript

Our next event is going to be all about Art, AI & JavaScript and we have two fantastic speakers lined up!

Tero Parviainer - Musical AI

Tero is a software developer, music hacker and writer. He currently works at creative.ai.

We can now take generative musical models designed and trained by people such as Google's Magenta team, and run them in the web browser. Into this we can incorporate other neural net models such as PoseNet, as well as everything else the web platform has to offer: Web Audio, Web MIDI, HTML & SVG, CSS, and WebGL.

In this talk we'll get familiar with some of the current deep learning techniques for making music. We will see how to apply them to generate music in the web browser with TensorFlow.js, Magenta.js, and Web Audio. We will also discuss ways to combine all of this with UI and visual design, to create interactive applications that help people engage with music in new ways.
