SUMMARY:Showcase: Foteini Tryferopoulou (GR)
DESCRIPTION:Foteini Tryferopoulou is a sound artist based in Athens\, Greece\, whose work moves between music\, memory\, technology and perception. Combining urban soundscapes\, found objects\, electronic textures\, and acoustic instruments\, she creates immersive sonic worlds that blur the line between the familiar and the surreal. Her practice is deeply conceptual and rooted in experimentation\, often exploring narrative\, space\, interaction and the boundaries of listening. \nFoteini works with systems—frequently drawn from outside the musical realm—repurposing them as creative frameworks. Experimentation is central to her process: a space of discovery\, risk\, and transformation. She is interested in the role of technology and artificial intelligence in artistic creation\, in the context of opening dialogues between human and non-human interaction and co-creation. \nHer work has been presented at festivals and venues including the Alternative Stage of the Greek National Opera\, the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST)\, Studio Loos (Netherlands)\, Goethe-Institut Bukarest\, Technopolis 20 (Cyprus)\, and National Sawdust and the Rockefeller Center in New York as part of the Onassis Foundation USA’s Archive of Desire festival. She has collaborated with artists such as Jeff Zeigler\, Lucy DheGrae\, Miranda Cuckson\, Brandon Patrick George\, among others. \nThrough sound\, Foteini invites audiences to step into altered realities—where time shifts\, stories dissolve\, and perception is gently rearranged.

SUMMARY:A case study to analyze in praxis copyright relevant AI issues: Pharos\, the Greek AI Factory
DESCRIPTION:Greece’s vision for AI comes to life through Pharos\, the Greek AI Factory\, realizing the objectives of the Blueprint for Greece’s AI transformation that prescribes a culturally sovereign digital future. This is a common initiative where creators are essential partners\, not only preserving but actively shaping the future of Greek language\, culture\, music\, and creative expression in AI ecosystems worldwide. \nTo support this transition\, it is vital to revisit the notion of copyright and related frameworks with the realities of AI training\, generation\, and commercialization\, ensuring transparency\, fair value distribution\, and sustainable innovation. \nTogether\, through ethical design\, technical excellence\, and shared governance\, the foundations for a culturally sovereign\, internationally competitive\, and creator-driven AI future for Greece.

SUMMARY:The new remix: AI\, authorship & challenges for rights management
DESCRIPTION:In his seminal work Remix\, Lawrence Lessig explored how digital technologies were reshaping culture by enabling a new form of participation—one where users became creators through the re-use and recombination of existing content. Today\, we are witnessing a new kind of remix: not by humans reinterpreting art\, but by machines generating it. As artificial intelligence becomes an increasingly powerful tool for creating music\, fundamental questions about authorship\, ownership\, and rights management resurface in a radically different context. What happens to rights management systems when music is composed by algorithms—or collaboratively by humans and machines? \nPowered by the Hellenic Copyright Organisation

SUMMARY:Mythodia Visuals – Custom AI models for music videos
DESCRIPTION:Mythodia Visuals creates 100% AI-driven music videos by training custom models on each artist’s visual identity. Faces\, bodies\, styling\, lighting\, lenses\, and even real or imagined locations are replicated and transformed into reusable digital assets. Whether fully synthetic or blended with live footage\, the focus is on maintaining artistic intent while expanding creative possibilities. \nWe’ll show how our models achieve 1:1 visual fidelity\, how physical styling\, camera work\, and set design are transformed into digital building blocks\, how we navigate the balance between authenticity and imagination\, and how AI supports more efficient and future-proof production workflows. Directors\, cinematographers\, and editors can rethink how they work\, free from traditional constraints\, with more room for experimentation and creative control. \nModerator: Alex Dimou \nPowered by Mythodia Visuals

SUMMARY:Found or forgotten? How artists can be discovered
DESCRIPTION:Getting noticed is tough. With 120\,000 tracks uploaded every day\, artists face huge competition. Algorithms play a part\, but human tastemakers such as playlist editors\, bookers and curators still help decide what gets heard. \nThis session shares practical ways to improve your chances. We will examine playlist pitching\, metadata\, release timing\, and how to get in front of the people who make decisions. \nPowered by The Orchard \nModerator: Evi Choursanidi

SUMMARY:Fair remuneration of copyright and related rightsholders over musical works: The landfill of buyout practices
DESCRIPTION:EU and national law recognise the principle of fair and appropriate remuneration for both authors and performers\, establishing this as an equal level of high protection and a core principle of copyright and related–rights law. However\, the ongoing and emerging trend of buyout agreements\, the unilateral enforcement of buyout clauses\, and related practices undermine the rule of law and threaten the continued creation of music.\nAs the digital era gives way to the age of AI\, we increasingly hear the voices of authors and performers calling for concrete protective measures. This presentation will explore the impact of buyouts with the aim of highlighting current challenges and amplifying the need for reform. \nPowered by the Hellenic Copyright Organisation

SUMMARY:The ‘Taylor’s Version’ strategy: Re-recording music albums
DESCRIPTION:Swift’s move to re-record and re-release her albums\, labelling them as ‘Taylor’s Version’\, seems to have paved the way for a change in the world of music. On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean\, Taylor Swift regained control of her creative work\, meaning not only of her musical works but also of the master recordings. Although there is an interesting backstory explaining Taylor Swift’s decision\, in this presentation\, we focus on the legal grounds that made it possible.

SUMMARY:Sustaining DJ careers: Local realities & global ambitions
DESCRIPTION:Building a stable career is increasingly difficult for many DJs in Greece and across the region. Fees are either very low or extremely high\, with few mid-level opportunities. Breaking into international circuits or securing regular local gigs can feel out of reach. \nThis panel looks at how DJs can create more consistent\, long-term work. What helps build a reliable base of bookings? Is a manager or agent still essential\, or are there other ways to connect with bookers and grow an audience? \nPowered by AFEM (Association for Electronic Music)

SUMMARY:Opening borders\, opening markets: Live music in transition
DESCRIPTION:With Romania and Bulgaria’s partial entry into the Schengen Area in 2024\, cross-border mobility in parts of Eastern Europe has improved. This shift brings new potential for the live music sector across the Balkans\, the Middle East\, and Schengen’s eastern edge to attract foreign investment as a way to strengthen local music scenes and infrastructure. \nThis session brings together venue bookers\, festival organisers\, and showcase curators to examine what’s missing for these regions to become recognised live music destinations. \nAimed at bookers\, DIY artists\, and promoters\, the discussion will focus on benchmarking infrastructure\, identifying local gaps\, and connecting grassroots activity with professional circuits to support a more sustainable and internationally visible live music ecosystem. \nPowered by FOMC (Federation of Music Conferences) \nModerator: Federico Rasetti

SUMMARY:Strategy as a creative process: For people who hate planning but need results
DESCRIPTION:Many creatives experience a genuine mental block when it comes to strategic planning. They might do a better job with a plan\, but they find the planning process itself tedious\, restrictive\, or overwhelming. Traditional strategic planning often feels too rigid and formal\, disconnected from the creative process\, and full of business jargon and frameworks. \nIf this resonates with you – you’re not alone – this contradiction is common among creative professionals. This workshop transforms the painful process of strategic planning into a creative experience that doesn’t feel like a boring chore but is rather an extension of the creative process. \nPowered by SAE Athens

SUMMARY:The future of live music: Will technology fill the crowd or steal the show?
DESCRIPTION:With AI\, VR\, and AR pushing the boundaries of entertainment\, live music faces a crucial challenge. Can innovation support rather than diminish the human connection that makes gigs\, tours\, and festivals memorable? AI-generated performances\, holographic artists\, and virtual sets are gaining traction\, raising questions about the future role of physical venues and festivals. Will immersive tech draw larger crowds to real-world events or shift attention to digital alternatives? Beyond the hype\, do fans still crave the energy of a live set or is convenience taking over?\nThis session challenges the idea of tech as a disruptor and explores its potential to support and enrich live music. We’ll hear how promoters\, agents\, tour managers\, and venue operators adapt\, using tools\, not trends\, to keep real performance at the heart of it all. \nPowered by FOMC (Federation of Music Conferences)\nModerator: Mandy Salem-Aubry

SUMMARY:From Pulp Fiction to Fortnite: Getting your music into films and games
DESCRIPTION:With sync placements now a key source of income and exposure\, the pressure is on for artists to understand how this part of the industry really works. What makes a track stand out to a music supervisor? How do editors choose what ends up on screen? Writing great music is only part of it. You also need to know how to pitch\, present\, and build the right relationships. \nThis session is aimed at artists\, producers\, and composers looking to grow their audience and build income through sync. It offers practical insight into what really matters in the sync world—from making your catalogue placement-ready to earning the trust of the people behind the scenes. We’ll hear from those working across film\, TV\, games\, and ads\, and close with an open Q&A for independent creators ready to move beyond streaming and live shows. \nModerator: Andra Vasile (RO)
