Poem, my thoughts about music, AI, classical, music production, essence of music etc, where we started and where we are now, knitted in a reflective poem.

“BEHOLD,

as a child, my fingers pulled the strings,

and my ears orchestrated the melody,

every sound and symphony was a result of a experience,

my life was on the sheets of notes and scribbles, my thoughts and my musical mind on the sole paper on the desk that I worked on for ages.

the expression of life, its remarkable moments, from sadness to the joyous cry, expressed in the sound of trumpets, the failure of screeching violins and many more instruments,

but now, LISTEN.

by a blink of a eye, my work is done,

by a second, I made a classic symphony,

since when did 1s and 0s become music?

is my experience obsolete now?

How come a non-sentient being can copy my voice? Is it even real?

The world is going fast, I see the chains and the struggles it has been carrying. I see the honest questions marks and all the watered-down answers.

Are we the spectators now?

is that “thing” the performer now?

how come when it pulls the same string, it doesn’t sound the same?

even if you are not real, you do 10x better

even if you are not real, your timing is perfect

even if you are not real, your pitch is just…”wow”

Even though you are perfect, you don’t have a heart.

even though everything you make is flawless, I don’t see soul.

even though your making hits, I don’t see perfection.

the coming years, you will be on stage, and I will be the spectator.

Before was it just me. Now, its two of us. My blood, and the 1s ‘n’ 0s.

But I ask myself, who is behind this performance?

another me behind the curtain or you, and you alone?

or… are you our new living instrument?”

There seems to be a common thread in comments about AI...

From my experience I can say that AI going to make music production much easier. Less struggling with the technicals and more room for creativity and inspiration. This is already happening and will allow for more people to enjoy and accel at this medium of art.

However, I don't think that AI will be making "popular" music unless they can find a way to give it that human touch. Everything I've heard produced by AI emulates and replicates, but doesn't feel "inspired" or "alive".

Most importantly though - Hopefully there will be a transition of ownership power through web3 technology. Artists will own more of their IP and receive proper royalties and rewards for the art they create. Rather than labels/streaming platforms holding the entire industry and its artists, hostage. One can foresee serious industry pushback here, but I think the inevitable outcome favors the individual IP. We are already seeing it.

DAWS will move more towards virtual/augmented spaces as that technology is adopted.

How far in the future do we want to go? At some point we'll just be wearing headsets and imagining tunes and they will be articulated as fast as we can think into a music project file completely editable in every sense.

At any rate, live shows performed by people will never go away. Humans will always need a story teller. And music is one of the best ways to tell a story. With, or without words.

Where it’s going? I don’t know where AI tools will take us. There’s so much to be learned and discovered. The future is exciting though!

AI will get a lot of press for a couple of years as the algorithms get better and adapt to modern trends in music. Within five years AI will be generating at least 30 percent of the music that will be popular on all the streaming services.

Professional musicians will have to rely solely on touring or fan Patreon (or similar) sites and merchandise (eg: t-shirts) in order to make a living. For the balance of the next ten years and beyond, the popular music industry will be increasingly made up mostly of:

(a) hobbyists who happened to go viral on Tik-Tok;

(b) Artificial Intelligence programs owned by corporations that will tweak the algorithms and mass-market the results of their programs to a streaming public; and

(c) Keith Richards.

Classical musicians will continue to perform and survive as long as arts funding doesn't dry up too much and people are still willing to leave their homes to enjoy live performances.

I envision that the world of music will find a resurgence of human-based instrumentation and soulful songwriting again. Why do I say this? Because as the world slowly becomes colder with artificial intelligence the world will melt more easily in the light and warmth of real and soulful music of the heart.

Un poco de miedo, siento que llegara un punto donde la tecnología me remplazara Y SERA MEJOR QUE YO EN TODO, PERO POR LOS MOMENTO SACARE PARTIDO DE ELLA. 😂

As i see first of all the K-pop comes and eat the europena-american pops and split out to where it belongs. I hope they rewrite the whole pop standards to the rightful way agin (no autotune, no playback, no ball kicked piched vocals, and no more just go out the stage and just pounding/walking left-right).

The usa+europes "producers" at least 50% will use the "AI 🤣" to make themselves "unique" but they just what the "AI" user "graphic designers". idealess, lazy humans. This will divide the music composers to popular/comerical group and to real composers group.

In the techno scene slowly the trendy "hard techno" era will end or transform somewhat that isn't called techno, rather a new age popular radio/podcast/stream music and the techno name will go bac to the originial roots.

More and more DJ will use additional gears and calls themselves "live" but the big percent will just use average samples and synths and only a rare minority will be really unique.

Everyone will try/buy some pioneer gear but after 1-2 year the talented will switch to the real brands (A&H, Denon, NI, Rane, Technics) and then only use pionner when there is no other gear on the event.

It's going to be just instrumental jazz and 70's style disco.

At the end....Rock'n'Roll will save us all! 😄

Like many others here; I believe AI will shape the future of production, maybe like a prompt for generating each element; "1/16 hats, bright" or "funky ass baseline", (I'm thinking midi for melodic things, I believe great instruments/plugins will still be relevant) speeding up our workflow but still leaving the decisions to us, the producers. 😎 I might be a bit biased though. It will be harder to stay on top, decision making will become more important than technical skills and resources. Just my humble thoughts though, time will show! 😊

AI is bringing a new spin on music as it expands.The thought and creative process can never be duplicated because everyone has a different ear for music.

The music world is going independent and much more fractured. At least where musicians themselves are concerned. As much of the organic support and engagement falls out of reach for regular people without deep pockets, and as AI is leveraged more and more to further push out creators as much as possible, the incentive to engage with the entire world in going to start to evaporate. Much in the same way that the prevalence of robo calls and automated call centers have made using a phone to receive calls largely unusable for anyone under the age of 40, and no one wants to engage with it. The music industry in this state will be mostly as successful as ever. Especially, as there's a lot of money propping it up right now, and that's not going to go anywhere. It's just going to be further pushed more into what's predictable and controllable, and for a lot of the casual music-listening populace there wouldn't be much difference. However, there's going to be a resurgence of local scenes as artists look to get involved in spaces where they can have a presence and mutual support among a peer group of musicians.

Immersive,mind controlled generative music and a sprinkle of AI !

lets go back and rock in to the future !⏯️

I see all these comments about AI and frankly it scares me. But unfortunately it’s very true as we see it invade the art world, to be used as a tool along side music and art is acceptable but to rely on it takes everything that making music is about obsolete. We are the music makers we are the dreamers of dreams. Yes embrace technologies but not the ones that do it for you don’t let the future of music become a soulless baron landscape. Let’s not lose our emotions, dare to create without fear.

I think, we will create amazing music with AI cheap and fast. But I don't think, we will be happy and satisfied with it. It will be like riding uphill with an eBike. You arrive at the top of the mountain, but can you be proud?

What I like is, that music producing is accessible for more people than now. In this way the new AI tools democratize AI.
