School of Korean Traditional Arts Participates in “Pohang AI Concert: Mit-doduri Rhythm by Mathematical Analysis and AI Computer Composition”

At “Pohang AI Concert: Mit-doduri Rhythm (one of Korean traditional rhythm patterns) by Mathematical Analysis and Computer Composition” from June 11 through 12, K-Arts professors Geong Soo-neon, Kim Jeong-seun, and Yoo Young-ju of School of Korean Traditional Arts showcased their performances. In addition to the School of Korean Traditional Arts team from K-Arts, the experts from POSTECH Institute of Artificial Intelligence (PIAI), POSTECH Math Department, Onseok University, Yeoju Institute of Technology were present at this concert. 

With the lead of professor Geong Soo-neon, professors Kim Jeong-seun and Yoo Young-ju played artificially re-written music script of Mit-doduri, the masterpiece of Korean traditional music, for haegeum part. This script had been re-composed, applying new techniques developed by a machine based on mathematical data analysis. While POSTECH was the host, POSTECH Mathematical Institute for Data Science (MINDS), KARTS-POSTECH Digital Human Research Center, and Pohang Cultural Foundation co-organized the event.
