I love this Radiohead song

New op-ed from Brewster Kahle in The Guardian: "Will we fight to support and defend universal education and equitable access to information – or stand by as some politicians and powerful corporations take deadly aim against those long-cherished values?" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wonderful plenary presentation by Gerhard Widmer (and spotlighting the awesome work by Carlos Cancino-Chacón) on computational expressivity in music accompaniment, culminating in a discussion of adversarial artificial piano performance 🎹⚔️🎹

Today the Signature Sound Vienna team (@chandavanderhart.bsky.social and I) are headed to the German Musicological Society conference #GfMTagung2023. We'll be showing off mei-friend at the #digitalmusicology market place, and presenting on our project. If you're in Saarbrücken come say hi!
