Hey Thingers,
This week we have a two-part series for you all on AI music.
On Wednesday, we dropped Part 1 in which we discuss the various goings on in AI music generation. Manny “creates” a few different versions of the NO SUCH THING theme song (that he actually produced without AI) using Suno’s generative AI, and we hear from Charlie Harding, audio engineer and host of the Switched on Pop podcast, to learn just how much AI is being used in the music industry today and where he sees it all heading in the future.
(Apple, Spotify, YouTube, Others)
And today we’re dropping Part 2, where I confront a musician who was my #1 played artist on Apple Music for August and who goes by the name of 1010benja on why he decided to use generative AI on his new EP 1010: Time Has Nothing To Do With What You Choose….
ICYMI, this week Suno announced a deal with Warner Music Group to launch new AI music models.
If you like the show, drop us a five-star review wherever you listen to podcasts, and share with a friend, family member, coworker, neighbor, mail deliverer, and/or roommate. It really helps a lot!
There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't
I am listening to part 1 and I am wondering about genres. What if an artist works in genre A and you like genre C. What do you think of an artist taking their original work and using AI to make versions in genre B, C, and D? As far as I know (I know almost nothing about the music industry) nobody does this without AI, so it seems less of an issue of taking work from people in the industry.
