Hi everyone, taking a break from X for a bit. I'll be working on a new research project this winter and will most likely return then. Be kind, be safe.

If you are a musician, music industry professional or a music lover take a moment to read to the motions filed against Suno and Udio. See links in @ednewtonrex ‘s analysis below

"How can AI enable the musicians of tomorrow?” I'm thrilled to dive into this topic with @navreyort @zlbdad and Carlos Arana at the "Educating the Next Generation of AI-Enabled Musicians" panel at next week’s AES Symposium on AI and The Musician

Best Practice

The rollout of AI summaries instead of search results threatens to undermine any collective sense of shared history, thereby unraveling the threads that bind us, & abandoning truth as a guide. On both a literal & philosophical level, what happens when we stop searching?

On World IP Day, a reminder that the internationally agreed Berne Convention forbids copying that “unreasonably prejudice[s] the legitimate interests of the author.” Fair use, and other copyright exceptions, have to meet this standard. Copying people’s work to build a generative

If you want to democratize something, develop tools to make it less expensive and easier to learn. Typing text prompts and receiving ready-made audio further mystifies and obscures the beautiful, joy-filled process of creating music.

AI startups talking about how they will 'democratize' music making (or art in general) is just as cringe as Facebook/Meta's "move fast and break stuff" mantra of their early years.

The first session of my new lecture and discussion series starts today! Very excited to talk about and learn more about our student’s perspectives on generative AI and Music.

After an unreleased performance of the Tomasz Stanko Quintet was found, @AstigmaticRec turned to AudioShake to create stems of the 50-year-old recording. More on our work helping to master this radio broadcast turned vinyl album, “Wooden Music II”: https://t.co/4cfec4hmkt

This blew me away today: a singing cow gate! Geophony (strong wind) meets antrophony (cow gate), with a sprinkle of biophony (passing jackdaws and a late bumblebee!). I was taken aback at how musical this sounded as the wind flowed through the nooks & crannies. Just beautiful

Read this, understand this. Embrace your limitations, your imperfections your humanity. This is it folks, the only way forward.

To make a comparison to the history of recorded music, we are in the 78rpm/ wax cylinder stage of generative AI music. It is mind-boggling to think about where this tech will be in 5 years.

New AI music tool, #SplashPro can generate music based on samples in its library and add vocal performances based on lyrics that you input or generate. I made this clip in about 15 seconds. https://t.co/eZjvgwcEUV

I’m working on content for a Music Entrepreneurship course, this is a sentiment and mindset that is so important for young people to think about.

A society that systemically disrespects the rights of non-human life (animals, plants, etc.) but celebrates the rights of machines, is inherently insane.
