Technology, he felt, was moving too fast, transforming the world and the arts with no regard for the cost in tradition, hard-won human wisdom, and tried-and-true methods of mastery. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e That changed, however, when Cantor Santiago was commissioned by Huawei, one of the largest technology companies on the planet, to collaborate with artificial intelligence and finish Franz Schubert's Unfinished Symphony-a successful experiment that attracted attention throughout the world. Creating music in collaboration with a machine led him to question his long-standing assumptions about what music is, what technology does, and how the two have evolved together over the course of human history, from the first bone flute to today's landscape of constant innovation and change.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on Cantor Santiago's extensive experience in the arts and tech worlds and his ongoing experiments with AI-powered musicmaking, \u003ci\u003eUnfinished \u003c\/i\u003eis an engaging and refreshingly optimistic meditation on the role of technology in music and the arts. What is the current state of the art? How did we get here? Where do we go now? This book provides an informed perspective on what is lost but what we also gain when we bring our machines ever further into the creation of art in its many different forms.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucas David Cantor Santiago\u003c\/b\u003e is an author, producer, TEDx speaker, university guest lecturer, and two-time Emmy Award winner.
