The Ai Music Generation Challenge 2023

[Bob Sturm]

Dear all,

Apologies for cross-posting.

We would like to announce The Ai Music Generation Challenge 2023: https://github.com/boblsturm/aimusicgenerationchallenge2023

Unlike the previous three editions (2020, 2021, 2022), this challenge is focused not on generating a particular form of existing traditional music, but instead on generating an artificial music tradition. Use any kind of artificial intelligence (one system or many different systems) in any way to generate an artificial music tradition. This could entail symbolic music, audio recordings, lyrics, dances, imagery, costumes, myths, instruments, ephemera, websites, ethnomusicological or anthropological studies, and so on.

Particular inspirations include:

• Aisteach | Preserving the history of Ireland's Avant-Garde
• The CFL Sessions
• The Last LP: Unique Last Recordings Of The Music Of Ancient Cultures (1987)

Details about the evaluation procedures will be announced soon, but for now the deadlines are set:

1. By JULY 4, register your intent to participate by notifying the organizer.
2. Start generating documentary evidence of your artificial music tradition.
3. Write a brief technical document describing your technical process.
4. By OCTOBER 6, email the organizer:

• a link to download the documentary evidence of your artificial music tradition.
• a link to download your technical document (pdf).
