Manly Writers Festival: The Human Sound: Music vs AI

  • Manly Youth Centre Kangaroo Street Manly, NSW, 2095 Australia (map)

Part of The Night Shift—Human Creativity vs AI - Saturday 21 March, 8.00-10.00pm

Host: Alice Fraser

Con Campbell, Deborah Conway and Willy Zygier, Maximilian Holzner

If AI can generate music, what does human sound offer? In this closing session, musicians from different traditions respond to the same creative prompt — first as interpreted by AI, then through human instinct, collaboration and craft. Jazz improvisation, classical interpretation and songwriting sit side by side in a live exploration of listening and response.

The night concludes with a final song from Deborah Conway and Willy Zygier — not as a concert, but as a human answer to AI.
