AI & Soundcraft Café #01: Soundcraft in the Age of AI — What Does That Even Mean?

JOIN us THIS Sunday in SH, July 20, for a relaxed coffee chat in a cozy café. Whether you're an Artist, Developer, Builder, or Thinker, or simply curious about the future of sound, you're warmly invited.

Just a heads-up — the conversation will be in Chinese! It's our very first offline event, so think of it as a friendly practice round!

📜 Event Details

• Free entry – limited to just 5 participants

• Duration: ~2 hours (no more than 3)

• Feel free to bring a question or topic you’d like to explore together!

🧠 What We'll Talk About

• How are AI tools reshaping workflows in making electronic music and its post-production? What new challenges or… awkward moments have come up?

• If you're a musician/sound artist, or sound researcher: what would your dream tool look like? What's still missing?

• Why are most music production tools paid and proprietary, while many AI audio/speech models are FLOSS? What's your take?

• ...

🪔 What You Might Walk Away With

• Candid insights from fellow creators and researchers

• Unexpected connections (or future collaborators!)

• A special set of the MAN network's sticker set and a genuinely thought-provoking conversation

This is a small, informal gathering—not a lecture or workshop. Your presence and thoughts are the most exciting part!

This event is also posted on Rednote via @Marsh (Cui Han) — click Translate to view notes and comments in English.

While the MAN Network fully supports FLOSS technologies, we feel free to use any SNS platform to help spread our ideas in these early stages!

Cheers!
