Gabriel Vigliensoni

Postdoctoral Researcher

Optical music recognition, AI-assisted music performance and composition.

I am a musician and scholar who combines practice-based research with extensive studies in sound recording, music production, human- computer interaction, music information retrieval, and machine learning to design new approaches to music composition. Currently, I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Computing at Goldsmiths University of London, where I am investigating the creative capabilities and affordances of the deep learning paradigm for assisting musical composition.
