François Pachet is director of SONY Computer Science Laboratory Paris. He leads the music research team, which conducts research on interactive music listening, composition and performance. Since its creation, the team developed several award winning technologies (constraint-based spatialisation, intelligent music scheduling using metadata) and systems (MusicSpace, PathBuilder, Continuator for interactive music improvisation, etc.). His current goal is to create a new generation of authoring tools able to boost individual creativity. These tools, called Flow Machines, abstract “style” from concrete corpora (text, music, etc.), and turn it into a malleable substance that acts as a texture. Applications range from music composition to text or drawing generation and probably much more.

This lecture was organised by the UK section of the Audio Engineering Society, which holds lectures on the second Tuesday of every month in the London area. For more information, please go to http://www.aes-uk.org/
