Stefano Mainetti

With a longstanding interest in the dialogue between music, science and emerging technologies, Stefano Mainetti has explored the possibilities of experimentation through projects such as Rendering Revolution, dedicated to augmented music. This ongoing research has gradually expanded to encompass the study and experimentation of generative artificial intelligence, with particular attention to its artistic, professional and legal implications.

Capable not only of generating compositions but also of producing their audio realisation directly, this technology is redefining creative and production processes across the entire music industry, raising questions about the future of musical professions, intellectual property and copyright.

Within this field, Mainetti explores a fundamental question: the distinction between artificial intelligence’s ability to operate within established musical paradigms and its capacity to develop new musical languages and forms of expression.

Through experimentation, conferences, international panels and teaching, Mainetti contributes to the debate on the opportunities and challenges of a transformation that calls into question the very meaning of musical creativity.
