Patrik Lechner, musician and lecturer at our school will provide an informal hands-on introduction workshop for musicians to get familiar with machine learning tools.

Matthew Mosher, artist and guest professor will help you set up a trainable gesture recognition system linkable to your music, based on the wekinator software package.

Izotope RX 7 advanced, by the time the hackathon starts. This is a plug-in that allows you post production based on machine learning algorithms.
* And of course we encourage additional topics - bring your own ideas!!
