The Meteoric Rise of Generative AI Music
(Image generated by author with BlueWillow)
In our previous post, we explored the transformative power of generative AI in the art industry. We saw how AI can be used to create stunning and innovative artworks. In this post, we will shift our focus to the music industry. With more than 14 million songs created (14% of the world’s music recordings) by just one platform under three years,…

“I find it so amazing when people tell me that electronic music has no soul. You can’t blame the computer. If there’s no soul in the music, it’s because nobody put it there.”

I think the absolutely most baffling thing to me that I've noticed in the AI generated image discourse is that people seem to think that artists don't make any compromises or sacrifices ever and live perfect, comfortable lives where things just happen to align perfectly for them to have the time to create art that perfectly aligns with their vision
"I don't have the time to draw" do you really know if artists simply have the time to draw or on the contrary, have to sacrifice something to gain that time to draw? can you be so sure that they don't have to deal with hardships to gain the time to draw? or, they have the time to draw because they can't do something else in their lives due to their circumstances, and drawing is the only thing that will fill this time?
"I can't create stuff that meets my vision" how can you be so sure that the stuff artists create meets their vision? do you really think this art was their vision from the absolute beginning? or did they actually have to make compromises to reach this specific look, which maybe wasn't what they aimed for to begin with? can you even be sure if the medium they spend the most time on is the medium they intended to pick up from the beginning, or is it a medium they've had to pick up to compromise for not picking up another art form they wanted to stick to in the first place due to myriads of reasons?
you folks seem to make a lot of assumptions about people you don't personally know

for being an OS that's sooo pissy about just unplugging a USB device I'm always surprised that in Windows you can't just eject it through Explorer.
am i misremembering,, I could've sworn you used to be able to do that in addition to ejecting it through the taskbar?
and then besides the point I'm gonna change another one of my windows machines over to Linux 😈 i was getting so annoyed with it yesterday !!! 🙄 i wanted to share a folder so i didn't have to download everything again on my gaming pc but one is Windows 10 and the other is 11 and it keeps giving access denied errors even though anyone should have full control ૮ – ﻌ–ა
i saw community support threads where it's.. a common issue.. but was a dead end, and it was just example 19284849291 why any computer i have that can be on linux Should be!! real sick of windows' shit !! 😤 i feel like every time i try doing the more useful or interesting things outside of CLI I'm always just like This Would Be So Easy On Linux

William Fields - Fictions - continuing to push the boundaries of generative music, making it sound both introspective and playful
William Fields, the electronic musician working in areas of algorithmic composition and improvisation, makes his debut on GOTO with “Fictions”. Continuing a slew of releases across labels such as Superpang, Tokinogake and Conditional, “Fictions” is a perfect slice of Fields’ computer music – never robotic, constantly shifting and, at times, straight up jazzy. Fields is keen to state that these pieces are performed, with several of the tracks taken directly from public live appearances. Nevertheless, each composition retains structure and familiarity, both somewhat rarities in the majority of music made via similar processes. The eight tracks here display a wide range of aesthetic approaches, however, ranging from the raucous, freeform “Febih” through the computer jazz of “Obu” to the more luscious atmospheres of “Athal” and “Ifotux”.
Fields has been working in electronic music since 1998, performing regularly between the United States and Canada. A frequent collaborator, his work has received high praise from peers internationally. For several years, Fields has developed his own music software, “FieldsOS”, from which the majority of his output is produced. A particular highlight in the construction of “FieldsOS” was a weekly spot on Resonance Extra in 2019, where the system generated an hour of algorithmic music each week, broadcast without any edits. As time progresses, so does Fields’ “music system,” with “Fictions” exhibiting some of his most organic machine-music to date. May William Fields guide you through his world of musical spaces and systems.
