Renowned drummer Hans Eijkenaar (Anouk, The Voice, Kayak, Dulfer) has formed the band AI Collective, a groundbreaking jazz-rock fusion quartet performing music fully composed by artificial intelligence — yet played live without computers on stage, relying solely on human skill, soul, and spontaneity. At a time when AI is often seen as a threat to artistic expression, AI Collective flips the narrative. Their mission: to use artificial intelligence not as a competitor but as a creative partner — a source of fresh, unpredictable compositions that challenge musicians to perform live and respond in the moment.
In this interactive session Eijkenaar will explain the concept, demonstrate how he works and put the participants to work to make their own original music, using AI.
