ATHENS MUSIC
TECHNOLOGY FORUM
Interdisciplinary outreach and research in music and computer science
Founded by two high school students in 2025, the Athens Music Technology Forum (AMTF) is an organisation dedicated to education and research at the intersection of music and computer science. It focuses on fields such as computational musicology, sound synthesis, AI, as well as music engineering and production. AMTF aims to uncover the future of sound as it gradually evolves under the rapid development of audio technologies, and explore state-of-the-art solutions and tools in these fields.
AMTF was founded with two main goals: to promote music technology to the younger generation of up-and-coming musicians and artists, and to advance this cutting-edge discipline in the unique cultural musical scene of Greece. Thus, we hope to bring together professionals, artists, students and researchers from around the world to Athens in the first-ever edition of Athens Music Technology Forum in November 2025, themed under "The Sonic Frontier: AI and the Future of Music".
We want to hear your thoughts and opinions on music technology, as well as the future of sound, audio, and the music industry. If you are interested in joining us in this mission, feel free to contact us.
