Artificial Intelligence is changing the sound of music: how it's created, how it's performed, how we hear it, and how it reaches us. 

This year, with the introduction of AI & Music powered by S+T+ARTS, Sónar explored how artists, performers, thinkers, and makers are using AI to shape the sound of the future. 

This multi-dimensional programme connected genre-defying shows with thought-provoking conferences and interactive exhibits across all three days of Sónar by Day and Sónar+D. 

Watch the recap video below, featuring extracts from interviews with digital artist and performer Myriam Bleau, sound artist and radical thinker Nicole L’Huillier, and multidisciplinary artist and musician Cibelle Cavalli Bastos.
