After studying classical music at the Conservatoire of Amsterdam, he went on to develop into a musician who uses anything that can make a sound in his art. He travelled the world and found similarities between the percussion sounds people make and the language they use to communicate with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vleeshouwers has been experimenting with artificial intelligence for a few years now. It is a technical development that we all view with great scepticism, because the technology not only places an enormous strain on the environment and water resources, but also poses a threat to the work of creative professionals. Such as the infringement of copyright by tech companies that exploit art without paying anything for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vleeshouwer takes a nuanced view of this development. He uses AI as a tool, not as an end in itself. And that opens up a whole new world of possibilities, he explains in this 34-minute podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">In the Substack post, we\u2019ve also summarised the highlights for you: \u2018Water Ripples\u2019, Dominique Vleeshouwers\u2019 solo concert, takes place on 11 September in Delft.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"substack-post-embed\"><p lang=\"nl\">Dominique Vleeshouwers: the percussionist who embraces AI, by Cultureel Persbureau<\/p><p>An interview with a brilliant percussionist who is fully committed to modern technology, but above all to delivering a unique live experience.<\/p><a data-post-link href=\"https:\/\/nieuwsbrief.cultuurpers.nl\/p\/dominique-vleeshouwers-de-slagwerker\">Read on Substack<\/a><\/div><script async src=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/embedjs\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dominique Vleeshouwers (34) is al slagwerker sinds hij op de basisschool een drumstel in elkaar zette van potjes en flesjes.
