Get Synced! Workshop

Get Synced! Workshop is an opportunity to present yourself and your catalogue to music supervisors and hear their feedback. Participants of Get Synced! will learn about the music supervisors’ projects beforehand and can select the right songs from their catalogue to be played in the workshop groups for feedback.

Music x Future, Friday 4.10.2024

Co-write with AI
Jurek Reunamäki, Noraturi, Tomi Saario, AI

This is your unique opportunity to follow a songwriting session as a fly in the roof when Finland’s top songwriters Jurek Reunamäki, Noraturi and Tomi Saario collaborate with AI to write a song in front of a live audience. 

In the first part you get to follow the beginning of their session from who are they writing for to how they begin from scratch. The writers break out for a few hours and come back to present what they did, explaining what their own role was and what was AI. What can and can’t the currently in-use AI applications do for songwriters and how would songwriters like to use AI? This session is moderated by Katariina Sorsa.
