AI, Music and Sociology: A Digital Christmas Gift for the Department

The project, titled “Best of MusiSociology @Corvinus”, is a fully produced digital music album created especially for members of the department. The album consists of 13 original
songs, each one dedicated to a colleague and inspired by their most cited or particularly meaningful academic publication.
Behind the scenes, the project is also a playful yet thought-provoking demonstration of how AI is rapidly entering academic and creative life. Beyond being a festive gesture, this initiative highlights ongoing questions at the intersection of sociology, technology, and culture: How will human and machine creativity coexist? Will audiences resist AI-generated art, or will its origin become irrelevant? Through this pioneering gift to colleagues, Bence Ságvári invites reflection, discussion, and perhaps even a bit of dancing.
The project stands as both a heartfelt holiday surprise and a forward-looking experiment—one that captures the spirit of innovation within the Department of Sociology and opens the door to conversations that will surely continue in the year ahead.
