This repository contains the courses in machine learning applied to music and other creative mediums. This course is currently given at the University of Tokyo (Japan), and along the ATIAM Masters at IRCAM, Sorbonne Paris (France). The courses slides along with a set of interactive Jupyter Notebooks will be updated along the year to provide all the ML program. This course is proudly provided by the ACIDS team. This course can be followed entirely online through the set of Google slides and Colab notebooks links provided openly along each lesson. However, we do recommend to fork the entire environment and follow the interactive notebooks through Jupyter lab to develop your own coding environment.

Paleoscapes – Borneo-2023 - David MONACCHI

Tropical rainforest host the highest species richness of any other biome on Earth. Within this megadiverse community, equatorial lowland forests that have remained primary (untouched historically and currently undisturbed) have been selected as target areas to investigate the paleo-choirs of ecosystems. Fragments of Extinction is an interdisciplinary long-term project which from 1998 is recording and revealing ecoacoustic data collected in the remaining areas of intact equatorial forest in Southeast Asia, Amazon and Africa. Through advanced 3-dimensional recording technologies, employed for the first time in these remote and extreme environments, the project is building an archive of entire circadian cycles. These 24-hour spherical sound portraits are analysed and presented to audiences through sensorial and cognitive time-lapse experiences, to foster awareness about the extinction crisis and the urgency of heritagization of the last refuges of biodiversity, which high systemic integrity is surprisingly clear in their balanced, but vanishing, soundscape. In order to experiment and to expose audiences to the intangible properties of these unique polyphonies, Sonosfera® has been engineered and built: a 60-seat mobile eco-acoustic amphitheatre which, through 45 loudspeakers perfectly positioned in spherical geometry and specific internal acoustics, enables the acoustic reconstruction and visualization of complex 3D sound habitats. Can these technology-mediated deep-listening experiences of primal soundscapes heal our senses and reduce the gap that disconnects us from Nature? Can these help the intimate leap of consciousness of individuals toward one of the most urgent and unavoidable issues of our times: the ecological transition?
