Rushil Srikakolapu is a junior at Carroll High School who is interested in both music and the budding field of artificial intelligence. Aside from being a clarinetist for the Fort Wayne Youth Symphony Orchestra, he also plays the tenor saxophone in Carroll's top jazz ensemble and was selected to perform in both the Indiana All-State Jazz Ensemble and the Jazz Band of America. His passion for music is rivaled only by his fascination with artificial intelligence. Starting in his sophomore year, Rushil absorbed a multitude of books and online courses in order to learn more about the subject, and was happy to apply his skills in both music and A.I. in order to generate an A.I. music video to accompany the YSO's performance of Philip Glass' Harmonium Mountain.
