We're getting closer to the Big Note as described by FZ. Dig!

Diana Taylor

As many have also said AI is going to play a big role in future productions, however, I don't think they'll come anywhere near superseding the human composer, as Prince Rogers Nelson was want to say, if I want to hear some good music, I'll write it. AI will just be another tool in our workshop, I will enable us to source better samples quicker than we can now... It'll be the Spotify of Samples Libraries, you want an orchestral string section or a brass section from back in the day! The one thing it won't be able to do is replicate the human mind's need to constantly tweak and improve a piece of music and live musicians to deliver this innovation... #AHighNoteANewNoteAnOldNoteABlueNote #MusicIsMusic

Digging my NI library and taking my songs to the next level 😎🤙

I'm most excited about how electronic music is going to develop. The biggie is that it's going more and more live.

In the UK there's now a big Electronic Music Open Mike scene, happening everywhere. I know it's happening in other countries too.

Just search EMOM to get involved.

NI will open a branch in the UK so it's possible to to get kit repaired without customs problems 😅

I believe that music production will do a sort of “split”.

A.I. is one branch.

Current electronic production as we are currently creating (Machine etc) is a another and

“Old school” both using vintage/synth/analog gear and practical instrumentation using real instruments, such as guitar, bass etc.

Each branch will develop and adjust to technological changes,( connectivity etc), but will, at the root, will grow as we explore the ways to apply and discover and rediscover music.

AI is going to be all over the place, but it will still be the human touch what will tell worthy and worthless tracks apart!

where the music world is going for the next decade

The music world has been changing for new artists, where only few can make a living out of the record sales. This might sound horrible for newcomers, though it also keeps them independent, since they can arrange everything themselves. Touring, merchandise and selling music while touring is the future for an artist and a small team around them.

The world population is growing, but there are fewer people who can afford a ticket for a concert. Live broadcasting of concerts on a paid channel, while being able to interact with the artist via screens on the stage, will solve both problems.

New platforms will emerge that will handle ticket sales, music rights, publishing, merchandise, concert equipment and broadcasting, just about everything except for the creativity that comes from the artist.

AI technology will forever change the way we compose music, there will be more and more tools and websites that will allow you to create music just by describing what is needed via text, this will have a positive but also negative impact. In the music composition industry for audiovisual projects, on the one hand, video producers will be able to create music without the need for a music composer, but also, on the other hand, musicians will be able to create musical pieces or musical parts faster and more efficiently. The combination of AI tools with MPE controllers will forever change the way we perform, compose, edit and mix music.

I believe that there will 3 major things happen in the next decade.

• Licensing will become a more major topic. As we see with multiple providers/vendors already. We cannot just buy software with a lifetime license anymore. We need to pay a monthly amount to get access to the full catalouge. This has the advantage of getting access to more software when we need it. But artists will tend to stick with 2 or 3 vendors instead of buying software / hardware from different parties. This could also foster more colaborations between different vendors as we have already seen in the last months.
• AI is the next big topic. A lot of people in the industry seem to see that negatively as the current process of making music will shift to something else. I cannot see the loss of creativity when AI is used. I even look forward to see what the next years will bring in that section. I believe that AI will enable a lot of more people to make new music that they would like to hear. Not everybody has the talent to play an instrument or has the time to learn about music theory. AI could assist them to create their kind of music which might even sound a bit more abstract than what we are used to at the moment.
• With those points above there could be a lot of possibilities for new musicians to create their type of music. We might see a downfall of the big artists and a shift to more independent musicians. Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp etc. could be a big help in that.

It definately will be interesting.

Fusion between Ai and real etnic instruments….

Artists copying each other like is happening now …

Production quality getting too commercial….

Come back to analog and live performances…

I expect a continued return to great tactile hardware and sounds 'borrowed' from past decades. The AI revolution will shake things up a bit but the demand for truly human music and performers will prevail.

Katy Daley

If the music that AI generates is as trite and banal as the lyrics it writes then we have nothing to fear, people.

rattala

I believe that AI will create a lot of damage to music composers because it will be able to create variations of human original compositions and then it will be able to be self-creative in a couple of years or so and that day we could not distinguish human from AI generated music... and we are not so far from this just now...
