Pro Tools Ruining Music

Forums:

I saw Brian Eno at panel discussion with Lori Anderson and Spike Lee years ago, and all Eno talked about was generative music and how in the future we would never listen to the same song twice, but I don't think he would be in favor of this kind of computer generated music. 

Streaming services are already buying companies to make AI-generated music, so they don’t have to pay human beings. They can just take the money themselves.”

>>>>>how in the future we would never listen to the same song twice,

 

Is he planning on altering human nature?

No he was into generative music where you set parameters and then the computer makes the music within those parameters but never the same twice. He thought people would look back on listening to the same songs over and over again as something people would be bored by. Obviously he was either way ahead of his time or completely wrong. The panel was at least 20 years ago at this point so leaning toward completely wrong.
