IRCAM Forum Day at MUTEK.JP
A Day of Research, Experimentation, and Creative Exchange
As part of the wider workshop series, MUTEK.JP partners with IRCAM for IRCAM Forum Day on Friday, November 20, at MoN Takanawa. This free program brings sound research into dialogue with the electronic music and digital art practices at the heart of the festival.
Through hands-on workshops and keynote presentations, participants can explore AI and music, sound design, and improvisation using IRCAM tools, including RAVE, SKataRT, MuBu, ASAP, and Somax2. The afternoon sessions expand the conversation to creative sound design, generative music, and technologies that support human expression.
The day welcomes artists, musicians, creative coders, sound designers, and researchers interested in discovering new tools and exchanging perspectives across disciplines.
