Music & Machines: A Panel discussion (in partnership with the Brooklyn Book Festival)

A discussion with journalist and authors Liz Pelly (Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Cost of the Perfect Playlist) and David Hadju (The Uncanny Muse: Music, Art and Machines from Automata to AI).

How is technology shaping the future of music, and what does that mean for artists, listeners, and culture?

Join the Brooklyn Book Festival and the NYU 370 Jay Project for Machines & Music, a dynamic conversation exploring the evolving relationship between music and technology. The discussion moves from early mechanical instruments to today’s AI-driven soundscape and considers how these shifts are changing the way music is created, distributed, and experienced.

Whether you are a student, creative, technologist, or simply curious about how platforms like Spotify and emerging AI tools are transforming the industry, this event offers a chance to hear directly from leading voices thinking critically about these changes.
