Funny, those complaints are some of my favourite things about old rock n roll.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. The digital experiments mentioned also sound interesting, but there is something about the imminence of physical media that captivates me.

There are many shades of plugins for the effect (and related media), but you lose that edge of chaos—most of the sounds that are so popular are the result of happy accidents because of that chaos and randomness. If you play around with thes

They're what got me hooked on getting into playing with cassette sounds. Every time I listen to them I'm transported and get stuck in an uncomfortable wooden chair in elementary school watching National Film Board documentaries an

Wow. What’s the end game there? Seriously, what is their actual vision for the world? I’m amazed any even moderately experienced adult thinks this is progress.

A lot of confidence in such predictions with zero precedence... I think a lot of people will think AI is their meal ticket to pop stardom. I think they misunderstand how the music industry has operated: it's a club. There are hundreds

It's not the end of the world. Someone once found out that people part with their money easier when they think it's the end of the world, and now that ploy is run amok. It's easier than trying to do something good.

"The masses"— and what separate you or them from "the masses"? Do we need unrestrained, automated more of that? Or should we leave art to do what it does best: nurture the soul and wake people from their sedated dream-

Not shortcuts. Anyone who's taken any psychedelic will tell you that. They're maps of the mountain passes, to use your analogy. (Or maybe maps to the maps)

Happy to share. I’ve come to think it’s very important that we re-integrate these plants/practices/visions/what have you into society and we stand to benefit from a deeper level down than just salving creature comforts. Some

Thompson was just disillusioned. He most certainly saw everything Leary did. That’s what fed his sardonicism. Where we’re going now is possibly stranger than Leary imagined. But definitely in line with what he hoped. Check out Andrew Gallim

My partners mother was depressed and shut in for years. She had been through every process, medical and otherwise, to try and find an escape hatch, window, anything. She eventually was accepted into a limited program in Victoria, BC for ket

“Endless cheap entertainment”… How depressing that’s sounds. Kind of like cheap cattle feed or something. Are you only here to be entertained? I’d like to contribute that music is not just entertainment. One of the best, and accessible, boo

So much for “automate the boring things”. The mask has really come off this past year.

In exchange for a deafening level of noise. One of the things those recording engineers used to battle was a high noise floor in the signal. AI lowers that signal<>noise ratio (applying the analogy to producing music or "content&

I’ve been working on some educational/toy projects for self hosting an audio streaming website. Wasn’t quite ready to put this out there, but it might be on topic. The first release is decidedly simple but maybe you can see where I’m g

You’re probably probing at something that taking a full hit of LSD would help— Primarily because people don’t know what they are and are afraid to question it.

Nobody said that. We're having a pretty reasonable discussion.

At best it's annoying noise, at worst it's a psychic trap that will confuse and inhibit the personal development of many.

My question reworded was actually: what is the result you expect? A 'correct' image on a computer? Then you'll get just that and little more. But I'm suggesting there is much more to be gained by taking part in a creativ

I don't think I would be surprised. You're just removing your own inherent and vast set of input and modelling parameters from the equation and offloading it to a more rigid model. You're already the most complex model and mo

Creativity is not equivalent with digital output volume. I think we’re going to see an explosion of waste. We are information processors. The input makes the output. What happens when you close that loop?

Art is already the most democratically available act. Anyone can learn the skills involved. Its not a select few. It’s about expressing and finding yourself and developing a soul through creative action, not just a squirting out a picture t

I don't think so. Considering thinkers like Jung and biochemist-cum-philosophers like Hofmann came along before much of that nonsense, and whose work was pushed aside with the good old American south paw for several decades. Thankfully

Then you might appreciate this—Canadian songwriter Joel Plaskett recording the final (and 44th) track on his last album (44) with a 44 live on the floor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVGy8TAoxWo Sounds just fantastic. (a

Psychology hasn't moved? Maybe not in a way that's as easily exploitable for profit, but it's certainly moved... There are dividends outside of financial. If you can't see them then maybe you should study some psycholo

Eff it indeed. The only thing it will really F is that bridge that art built to bring people in closer touch with themselves. Thinking we can shortcut self-discovery, individuation and essential human connection with an algorithm is insane

It’s not their potential mortality. It is their mortality. Very real, and always imminent. Once it stops becoming a “potential” thing, and it’s accepted as reality, then you start making real choices. The outcome is telling but not surpri
