One of the proposed CSAL logos designed by Merlin Goldman and Claude.

Day/time: 19/02/2026 11am-12pm

Location: Daphne Oram (Eng402)/Teams

Summary

In this meeting, we welcomed some of the master students who are supervised by Anna this year. We had a nice discussion about how AI is used in music through the lense of analysing selected music albums or songs. We also discussed a potential new logo for the lab. Merlin kindly prepared a few options. We agreed that we should ask a professional designer to develop the initial idea further.

Agenda

  • 12:00-12:05 Welcome

  • 12:05-12.20 Introductions, especially those who are attending the lab for the first time

  • 12:20-12:35 AI & Music sharing (All)

  • 12:50-13:00 Closing

Preparation

For the meeting, we asked each lab member to select a music album using AI or a reading about the latest music technology using AI that you like to be ready to present it for one minute each and then have an open discussion on: 1) what’s innovative, 2) what are the ethical implications, and 3) how could this influence our research? 

It was possible to share the picks in advance on our Zotero folder C4DM-CSAL.
