Facilitaor: Eli Owens in partnership with Grimalkin Records and the Department of Music
 

Description: Music generators can create some of the spookiest, dissonant sounds. So come join us for a special Halloween-themed jam session, where the facilitator will compose a song from samples generated using MusicLM, Google’s AI music generator. Participants will learn some of the tricks and limits of music generators and how these samples can be assembled into a track using Ableton Live.

For the last five years, Eli has also been passionately pursuing music education, teaching both private lessons and K-12.
