An AI companion for learning Carnatic music: A Design exploration
Pranav Premkumar, Saroja Ganapathy
Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, India
The traditional guru-shishya (teacher-student) model of Carnatic music education presents challenges of access, personalization, and real-time feedback in contemporary contexts. Drawing from primary research, technological insights, user experience design and existing pedagogical practices, this study identifies opportunities for an AI companion to augment the human element in Carnatic music education.

What the Library of Congress's MacDonald Collection Tells Us About Archiving Beyond Ocularcentricity
Lauren Berlin
University of Rochester, United States of America
This paper advocates for new systems of cataloguing that make archival research for sound studies more feasible. Drawing on the J. Fred and Leslie MacDonald Collection at the Library of Congress, USA, I show how new metadata and tagging conventions can make sonic research in AV collections more feasible.
Harmonizing Memories: A Transcultural Exploration of a Music App, Detecting & Retrieving Music Preferences in Dementia Patients via Automated Facial Expression Analysis
Marc Stoeckle
University of Calgary, Canada
This study explores the use of facial expression recognition to detect and retrieve personalized music preferences for individuals with dementia. By analyzing emotional and physical responses, the research aims to create a user-friendly app that enhances emotional well-being and memory recall, offering a non-invasive, culturally sensitive solution for dementia care.
