Partners & Institutions
Nova Armonia is a cultural undertaking, not a technology showcase. At this stage the project is still malleable: those who join now do not support an event already designed, but help give it shape.
Why now
Public discourse on AI music is polarised between technological enthusiasm and defensive rejection. A third space is missing: serious, curious, ethical, one that stages the real complexity of the relationship between human author and generative tools. Whoever speaks first, in an articulate and dignified way, becomes its point of reference.
Forms of support
A contribution, even a modest one, strengthens two precise areas: the educational component (workshops, masterclasses) and the production quality of the evening. Not funding a large event, but helping a pilot get off to a good start.
Television coverage turns an evening into distributable, lasting content. A conversation backed by an institutional partner carries a weight that a direct request cannot have.
Communication channels, mailing lists, relations with the cultural press: sharing the call and mentioning the festival significantly widens the project’s reach.
Schools, conservatories, libraries, music institutes, associations. Suggesting who to involve and easing the first contacts can be the most decisive support of all.
For musicians and music institutions
A festival that reflects on the relationship between author and machine, without the viewpoint of those who teach and make music seriously, would be incomplete. You join by choosing the role most consistent with your practice.
Selection of the finalists, evaluation on the night, motivation of the awards. A mix of musicians, teachers, researchers, journalists.
Performing pieces that began as AI tracks and were then rearranged or reinterpreted by human musicians: the sequence machine → author → stage.
A local musician produces a track together with AI tools and tells its process from the stage: the bridge between an international contest and local identity.
Educational initiatives on assisted composition, critical listening and bringing AI into the musical workflow. Open to students and to musicians who want to adopt generative tools in their own practice.
Senior musicians who offer structured feedback to the finalists before the evening, raising the overall artistic quality.
Short, well-written public moments on authorship, copyright, the musical craft and generative tools.
At this stage
We are looking for a preliminary assessment of interest, openness to a second conversation, and any pointers to useful contacts. We would like to build this festival together with the right people, not to sell you something already packaged.
