Both festivals – which will be in-person with a strong digital component – will reflect all the spirit and energy of Sónar, with more than 60 activities including concerts and dj sets, talks, workshops, debates and presentations from Sónar+D. Sónar is encouraged by the progress in vaccination and downward evolution of the pandemic, and will present both these events in a much expanded version of last year’s format.
Sónar also expands its activity throughout 2021, starting tomorrow Thursday 13th May from 17:00 – 19:00 CEST, with the first activity of the AI and Music Festival organized by Advanced Music, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC) and betevé as part of the S+T+ARTS program of the European Commission. The livestreamed collaborative workshop ‘Exploring connections between AI and Music’ will feature a panel of pioneering artists working with AI and Music – Claire L. Evans from YACHT, Jan St Lerner from Mouse on Mars and Ivan Paz – joined by experts in machine learning – Michela Milano (Università di Bologna), Jordi Pons (Dolby) and Javier Ruiz (UPC) – to explore and debate the impact of Artificial Inteligence on music, and the creative possibilities of this application.
