On today’s show, I talk with Dano Marr - program manager and curator of the AI Business Consultant program at Hyper Island.

In this conversation, Dano shares his story, how he wound up in Sweden after working as a UX designer in the States, honing skills in communication and leadership and his thought process behind the design and development of the AIBC program without having any formal education in AI itself.

Dano is creative, entrepreneurially-minded and a great storyteller. This episode is an insight into understanding your strengths and weaknesses, “trusting the process” and reiterating on your situation in order to optimise for a desired outcome.

Niklas Dahlqvist is a music composer, studying at KMH (The Royal Music Academy in Stockholm), who has been experimenting with coding and machine learning tools in audio and video creation for the past few years.  

In this conversation, Niklas shares his perspectives on the artistic uses of AI, his journey in using code as a music-making tool or instrument and the scene for showcasing AI music in Stockholm and in a broader sense.

This episode is an insight into contemporary methods of composition, transitions from traditional forms of music making and experimenting with technology in the pursuit of creativity rather than to make oneself more hireable.
