I think plugins will become more and more realistic with the time

AI will begin to "take over" (or already will have) the more generic music styles. This will cause people to seek out more "artisan" performers, who will continue to innovate using the tools available rather than letting the tools use them.

THD

AI will rule the music world (too):

I think, the musicians community will be splitted into two groups: one group will use AI for every part in their music production to bring their business forward and make productions faster. The other group will be the musicians with passion, who will use all possible sound sources and instrument to bring their ideas to live. They will use AI-technology as a tool, as a helper for tasks, they are not able to do or can't afford. (e.g. Mastering)

So, while the world of Pop-Music will turn more and more into one single sound pattern, the creative family of musicians will grow to a huge creative adventure-world of sound. :)

I think that, whatever AI will do in the music industry in the future - the results and originality will still depend on the creativity and talent of the musicians, composers and artists.

For electronic music, I see there being a lot of a new evolutions, which are typically feared or considered the death of music over and over throughout history. From more/wider use of technology and AI, to people learning and harnessing outdated forms of making music more so (because they don’t care about keeping up with the newest technology as much as making something that speaks to them).. hopefully corporate interest in music will fade and new artists that are created in the cycle will be made. No matter how deep or powerful technology gets, you can’t compete with the imagination (/uncharted territory).

AI will be able to create music that suits personal taste.

With advance of direct brain-computer interface this synergy can become absolute.

So catharsis from listening music will become not a random event, but a button press thing.

Though, music will be the lesser of our concerns by that time.

Decade... That's a long time.

Right now I see a trend of making it easier for producers to create exactly the sound they want in a short moment. Especially NI helps with this trend by making great interfaces and browsers where you can find orientation in the midst of thousands of presets.

I really hope this trend continues. Of course AI will help with this but I still have this romantic view of music, that I'm convinced humans will continue to stay better than fully artificially created music.

in the future music will be more and more machine-made. Hopefully this will lead to more diversity. So we can enjoy a richer musical spectrum. Production will become easier. Low skilled musicians will be able to make higher quality productions.

In the professional world things will surely change. professional artists will have more difficulty in surviving when competing with factorymade product. But there will always remain interest in the real handmade product.

There are a few touch points on this.

1. A.I as we all know is here to stay, I believe we will have better tools using A.I however not necessarily for creating music but to allow us to distribute, make album covers which allows the indie to thrive more and express there creativity clearer. Yes we will see A.I doing musical stuff but stuff like for noise reduction, gating frequency control etc as this are thing we can put into math and A.I is basically a extremely smart computer/intelligence.
2. WEB 3.0. Will definitely play a massive part in the next decade as new platforms arise and monetisation becomes more of an open playing field and not just for the 8% of Spotify using. As musician we will be able to create and sell not just the musical content but the add-on to a new release such; the pad I wrote the song on or a limited addition digital gold coin, which the user can then own and sell digitally themselves etc.
3. security. see its not all about just crating music we need to get better security wrapped around the content we make so that I as an individual can control how and how much the rights to my intellectual property is worth. To do this we will need to connect agency across the waters and beyond using a kind of musical digital passport, which I own not any agency and they communicate with me rather than me chasing them. So basically this a will be the convergence of rights platforms however only using 1 data set per artist/ producer etc which is….. created and owned by the individual who has full control to change it within a subset of rules.

entro:

basically this is what we saw happen to mobile /broadcast / tech - from WAP to Text MMS to TV to everything down the pipe.

as always i think the next decade will be different than thought. What likely will remain the same is, that trends will come and go. New technology will be adopted if useful or dropped if not useful or no longer useful. Hopefully music will remain a partly fun industry.

la musica riflette la societa', quindi dove sta andando questa societa'? a puttane

It's been a long time - who remembers it ??

Where it's going? In exciting ways: You'll have a very stubborn group of artists who won't touch anything computerized, and a group who won't do anything that /isn't/ computerized. You'll have artists in each camp who will try to mimic each other, collaborate once they figure out both are valid expressions of art, and both camps will come up with new and exciting sounds, songs, and compositions that as of now no one is able to imagine. Looking forward to it!

Music tastes, styles and how it is produced will continue to evolve as it has since music became a thing 1000's of years ago. In todays modern world it will be interesting to see how technology continues to have influence on music production and maybe (with AI) even composition and song writing but the human touch will always be there to make it special.

In 10 years, music could be entirely generated by AI or partially supported by it.
