The guest of this episode is award-winning pianist and composer AyseDeniz. AyseDeniz is expanding classical music’s reach by blending tradition and technology in fascinating ways. She’s using AI not only to bring classical music to new audiences but also to imagine what the legendary composers (think Chopin and Mozart) might have composed if they were alive in the digital age. AyseDeniz shares insights on economic factors at play, the future of music, and how AI can amplify – not replace – human artistry.
