The Music Thread

[ti-amie]

Recently went to a concert where two young musicians were putting together a show on north indian and south indian music, perorming together. These genres are different, about 75% different, so they were searching for a lyric they could sing, that would speak of the overlap of the traditions. Then, in their own words, they called upon that great modern poet ChatGPT - with a few rounds of prompts, they got one! in Sanskrit, no less! sounded good too..
It is a good example of using AI, not being subservient to it. They still had to push ChatGPT and they had to figure out to sing it, ChatGPT only gave them the lyric.. but did one part of the job well! I was quite impressed.

Interesting.

As I keep saying, AI will change our lives too much.
People don't seem to understand something. It is not the big people that will be affected. AI will not replace Taylor, or it will not replace a Peter Gabriel or a Prince. What it will do is it will replace a lot of middle of the road musicians.
You know all those commercials with a little jungle? Somebody writes that music. Video games? Somebody makes the music. The muzak in the elevator? Ditto.
And all those people will lose their jobs. Because ChatGPT can write a quick jingle in the time it takes you ask for it.

Very conceptual. I like it.

I hadn't listened to KD Lang's album Ingenue from 1992 in a while, so I revisited it today. Such a lovely voice, her vibrato is something else.

[ponchi101]

Voice wise, she was perfect. You could not ask for a more beautiful tone.
But her songs were not that great. She needed better song writers behind her.
Still, that album is pretty good.
