curiosibot lab: ai music + sound design

Curiosibot Lab, located in the vibrant artistic neighborhood of Russafa, Valencia, is excited to announce the opening of applications for the CREAte Music Residency. This unique residency is designed for musicians, composers, and sound artists who are eager to explore new frontiers in music production and performance by integrating cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Our mission is to foster a collaborative environment where technology and art intersect, empowering artists to create groundbreaking work. As the only space in Valencia offering this blend of creative resources, Curiosibot Lab provides a supportive and inspiring setting for artists to push the boundaries of their craft.

This one-month residency will particularly welcome musicians interested in learning about AI music tools using platforms like Google Colab and other innovative software. Participants will have the opportunity to create unique samples and sounds to integrate into their music. Artist will receive monitoring from the director and technical training in utilizing AI tools. Additionally, artists will learn about training their work using the plugin Combobulator, with the guidance of external collaborator Ben Cantil of Datamind Audio, who will conduct a workshop on utilizing this powerful tool and how to create sounds for this plugin trained on the artist’s sounds. Familiarity with python or Google Colab is helpful but not a requirement.

We welcome artists with no previous knowledge of AI and an interest in sound design. We will not be focusing on tools such as Udio (or full track generation tools), rather tools that can create samples, and create new sounds trained on the artist’s own work. Our main DAW is Ableton, but also have Logic and Pro Tools.
