AI can consume entire musical canons – we, more’s the pity, cannot. Perhaps the careful use of AI can enable us to break out of lifelong patterns and push our creativity into new realms. The artist still makes choices about style, instrumentation, and BPM they can edit, cut and paste, delete and play with the stems the AI generates they’re still the creator, just using a modern springboard for ideas. “The power lies in the person using the technology” “We’re making it so that you don’t have to spend 10,000 hours and thousands of dollars buying equipment to share and express your ideas,” he says. “There’s something about the romance of being able to play the ball, hit it with the flippers and, you know, use your hips to bang the ball.”ĭrew Silverstein, CEO of Amper Music, previously told CNN Tech that his software doesn’t mean we lose human musicians, but rather it benefits them by saving time and money. “Analogue is a pinball machine and digital is a PlayStation5,” says Richardson. He likens it to his sentimentality of using analogue products. Richardson believes the touring band's struggle (years of blown tires and cockroach-ridden hotel rooms) which pays off when they finally get a hit song, is an experiential loss in a world where everything is available at the push of a button. “With AI creation it’s completely gone – it’s like COVID-19 times ten.” “My fear is that we’re losing being in a room together talking about a song talking about a drumbeat talking about a feeling,” he says. Like Nick Cave, Richardson has romantic notions of traditional songwriting, too.

“There’s always someone like the guy that keeps suing Led Zeppelin for ‘Stairway to Heaven’,' he tells VICE, “but who do you sue when someone gets AI to write a song like ‘Stairway to Heaven’?” Award-winning veteran producer Garth Richardson, known for working with bands from Biffy Clyro to Rage Against The Machine, has concerns about this.
