Music Frontiers 2026

MUSIC FRONTIERS ist eine internationale Konferenz an der Schnittstelle von Musik, Technologie und Innovation, die im Rahmen des Reeperbahn Festivals in Hamburg stattfindet. Hanna Lukashevich und Steffen Holly werden als Experten an Diskussionsrunden rund um die Themen KI in der Musik, Musikanalyse und die Zukunft der Musikindustrie teilnehmen.

The music industry is drowning in AI claims. Some are genuine shifts in how music is made, distributed, and monetized. Many are product marketing dressed as inevitability. A clear-eyed scientific perspective on AI and music has never been more valuable – or more rare.

In this interview, Amélie Anglade, one of the first AI researchers to apply machine learning inside music companies sits down with Steffen Holly from Fraunhofer IDMT to do something the industry rarely makes space for: an honest, evidence-based assessment of where AI genuinely delivers, where it falls short, and where the gap between marketing claim and technical reality is costing labels, publishers, managers, and artists real money and real opportunity.

Clearly, without an agenda, together they map the capabilities that are already proven and underused, the applications that remain genuinely speculative, and the areas where AI is quietly doing more than the skeptics acknowledge.

No keynote optimism. No doomsday framing. Just neutral, scientific, researched evidence.

Der Fireside-Chat findet am 18. September 2026 um 11:15 Uhr statt.

AI-generated music doesn't appear from nowhere. Every piece of AI-generated music stands on the shoulders of human creativity, and the technology to acknowledge that debt, trace it, and turn it into fair compensation is advancing faster than most of the industry realizes.

This panel brings together the engineers, rights innovators, and legal architects who are building the detection and attribution frameworks that make transparency at scale not just possible but practical: tools that can identify the human-authored works behind AI outputs, registries that create traceable links between training data and rightsholders, and deployment-ready solutions that labels, publishers, and artists can act on today.

The legal landscape will continue to evolve, but the infrastructure being built right now will determine who gets paid, how reliably, and how soon. This is the session for everyone who wants to move from the debate to the solution and understand what a fair, functional, and future-proof attribution system for AI and music actually looks like in practice.

Das Panel findet am 18. September 2026 um 12:05 Uhr statt.
