DESCRIPTION:Mark Gotham\, PhD\nAbstract\nTo mark the 250th anniversary of 
 Beethoven’s birth\, Deutsche Telekom initiated and funded "Beethoven X"\
 , a project to create some kind of realization of Beethoven’s fragmenta
 ry sketches for a 10th symphony using machine learning. This experimental
  undertaking brought together a team of music and computer science experts
  and shone a light on the many musicological and computational decisions 
 that go into such a task. This talk uses our experience with the Beethoven
  X Project to discuss some of those general considerations\, including th
 e nature of possible human-computer interactions\, (dis-)similarities betw
 een computational and traditional (non-computational) methods of composing
 \, and the probably decisive role the next generation of this work will r
 eserve for computational analysis.\n\nSpeaker bio\nMark Gotham specialises
  in computational methods for music theory\, analysis\, and composition. H
 e holds the rare distinction of having been appointed to faculty position
 s in both STEM (Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Durham Univers
 ity\, from 2023) and in the humanities (previously Professor of Music Theo
 ry at T.U. Dortmund). Previous\, non-faculty positions include those at C
 ornell university (US)\, Universität des Saarlandes (DE)\, the University
  of Cambridge (UK) and the Royal Academy of Music (UK).\n\nMark holds a P
 hD from Cambridge\, MMus from the RNCM\, and a BA from Oxford (where he gr
 aduated at the top of his cohort). He runs FourScoreAndMore.org to widen 
 access to music theory and the debut CD of Mark’s compositions – ‘U
 trumne est Ornatum’ – attracted 5-star reviews.\n\nWant to know more:
