A3E DAY 1 - Tuesday, September 23 2014

9:45AM 10:45AM	A3E KEYNOTE ADDRESS: A3E Keynote 1 - MasterMind: "AI + MI = A3E - The Future of Artificial Intelligence + Music Instruments"
	We are assembling the brightest minds in computer & music technology to discuss where the industry is heading in the next 10 years, and the effect it will have on how music is composed, produced, and performed. In recent years, there is a rapid movement toward 'intelligent' applications, where music and audio software replace the need for human expertise in audio engineering, arranging, composition, production, and performance ability. What will be the global impact on the industry if artificial intelligence is capable of creating art?
