Please join us in a discussion on the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and music. The program will begin with a presentation by the Aspen Science Center and the Basalt Regional Library District's Music Program Coordinator of an overview of AI in the music space, the benefits and detriments it brings, and the ethical and legal challenges around it.

The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by the Aspen Science Center featuring local music professionals who will share their own experiences, perspectives, and questions about AI in their work. This program is intended to inform local performers, writers, educators, enthusiasts, administrators, and invite an open dialogue on a new wave of music technology thinking.

This program is made possible through a 2026 grant from the Basalt Public Arts Commission.

Ten la bondad de acompañarnos en una discusión sobre la relación en constante evolución entre la inteligencia artificial (AI) y la música. El programa comenzará con una presentación general del Aspen Science Center y el coordinador de programa musical del Distrito de la Biblioteca Regional de Basalt sobre la inteligencia artificial en el espacio de la música, los beneficios y desventajas que presenta, y los desafíos éticos y legales que se derivan de este vínculo.

La presentación se verá seguida por un panel de discusión moderado por el Aspen Science Center, presentando a profesionales locales de la música que compartirán sus propias experiencias, perspectivas y preguntas sobre AI en su trabajo. Este programa tiene la intención de informar a artistas locales, así como a profesionales de la escritura y la educación, entusiastas, personal administrativo, etc. y nos invita a participar en un diálogo abierto a través de una nueva ola de pensamiento relativo a la tecnología musical.

Welcome back to our third season of Pink to Black for 2026/2027. We are stoked to announce some of our biggest artists thus far. The second show of the series features Deadtronica ft. Aron Magner of the Disco Biscuits and Emmy winning guitarist/producer Clouchord with Heady Hooligan with Live Band as the opener.

The duo merges the improvisational spirit of the Grateful Dead with the pulsating energy of electronic dance music. The acid test ethos to dance floor bangers, hear the legendary compositions re-imagined through a new lens. Experience the Dead, wired for the future.

Welcome back to our third season of Pink to Black for 2026/2027. We are stoked to announce some of our biggest artists thus far. Rattlesnake Milk, fresh off a sold-out U.S. tour and their first-ever Red Rocks appearance last summer with Charley Crockett, are returning to Carbondale on January 9th for the final close out show of Pink to Black. With opener, Tommy the Animal, this is going to be one of the rowdiest shows of the Pink to Black series. Don’t miss out!

From the southern plains of Texas, Rattlesnake Milk summons the sound of the prairie, mimicking the howl of coyotes and the pulsing rhythm of a lonesome junk train. While farming cotton for a family friend, Lou Lewis found inspiration to record an eight-song demo listening to the classics played on KDAV 1590AM in the empty flatlands of his hometown. Those demos paid homage to Lou’s favorite Dust Bowl migrant songs and haunted melodic gems from the 50s and 60s. Now, with the help of Corey Alvarez, and Andrew Chavez, Rattlesnake Milk captures the ephemeral soundscape of the Texas panhandle in the studio and on the stage.
