Hello, the 80's called, your moaning about the boring synth musicians interests is deleted.
We synth nerds have been having precisely this argument for decades now, and the answers always, unequivocally is, no matter how you made the music, its the musician, not the tool... as soon as we all agree "computer music is boring", someone proves us wrong.
- filoleg 7y agoThis. People seem to not realize that there is much more complexity to music besides just the melody and the chord progression used. Which sort of makes sense, because those are probably the only things that people not familiar with making music can easily grasp. Did the music of the past 10 years do much in those aspects? No, because chord progressions and melodies have been explored into such depths over centuries, it is kinda difficult to do anything new there without sounding ultra experimental and, most likely, not palpable to an average ear. But the music has made giant leaps in terms of sound synthesis, timbre complexity, etc. Midi generation from lyrics is imo a cool trick, but it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of "automatic the music-making". It's like saying that using a TypeScript transpiler with syntactic sugar on top is getting us to the point of Javascript code writing itself without need for any software engineers.
