Graduated Summa Cum Laude

Hello, I'm Kang Hyun-guk, who wants to study Music AI.

Based on my musical performance experience and absolute pitch, I became interested in how humans perceive and understand music — and this curiosity led me to explore AI models that allow machines to understand and generate music and audio.

Currently, I am preparing for audio/music generation and analysis research with the goal of an integrated music producer AI agent. My goal is to build an AI system that can deeply understand the structure and expression of music, and ultimately generate new music.
