Beats, Bytes & The Future Sound: AI Meets Electronic Music

Electronic music has always been about pushing boundaries, breaking rules, and bending sound into new dimensions. Now, artificial intelligence is stepping into the booth, reshaping how beats are built, melodies emerge, and tracks come to life. This isn’t about robots replacing producers—it’s about a new creative partnership, where human intuition meets machine-driven possibilities.The Evolution…

I don't? Listen to crust punk? Also that summary is fuckin lost

Kittie???? This is the most lost mix of music I straight up dont trust ai to do anything this is fucking ass

E-Gothic Conformity: The Horror of the Algorithm (Part ??/??)

(x)

Hey Ghouls! Been a While!

Today I'm going to talk about something I've been telling my friends about (though with no nuance, so they always look at my like I've got three heads! Arguably not a bad thing...) for probably the last year. That is... This new, almost obsessive behavior... with conformity. I've mostly seen this on "The Tiktoks" and "The Reels", so this is totally connected with structurally oppressive preferences of the Algorithm.

This may need to be in two parts; Here I know I want to write a big regretfulesc love letter to my community, which even though I adore... I cannot help but feel afraid for the future. I also don't feel like finding sources this time

TW for mentions of ED and Racism

It's no secret that the algorithm pushes videos with thin white people who (seemingly!) overconsume off of websites like Dolls Kill and Shein, or even sites like Depop. There's obviously nothing to feel guilty about with buying things that you need (I've covered this in a past post).

But, I worry about the future of the community. I've seen baby bats ask if they are still goth if they don't wear a white face, I've seen creators tight-lace their corsets so tightly that they could receive bodily damage. I worry about those who develop eating disorders to fit this standard. I also worry about those who believe they have to hide their skin color to be apart of our extremely diverse community. I worry about people who feel that they need to buy into this mass amount of overconsumption to feel "goth enough".

The truth is, this is an arts-based subculture- you can do anything you want with it. It is necessary that we keep our fondness of Life as a cycle, all aspects of death are within that. Within life there is death and within that, there is death, in an endless cycle. But IMO it's more of a prompt than anything, Goth is The People.

But enough of that talk, I mean, I have a whole post (which I should probably update as new information comes to light) about it!

I think that a lot of this prioritizing looking as thin and as pale as possible is really dangerous. I know that it's under this guise of looking "dead, sickly, or ghoulish", but that's honestly such bull. We can look at gothic artist Tim Burton's reasons for his exclusion within his "aesthetic".

Not to mention this criticizing article on Wednesday! (From the Independent)

So, "Get on with it!" I hear you say.

Alright, alright. What does this mean for the future of the goth community? I mean, the culture of each social media garbage app is entirely different. Tiktok is kind of a deep pit that I avoid like the plague for how addictive it is (only for myself to replace it with reels). Instagram reels is honestly the place i have the most beef with.

There's this huge uptick in people minimizing what goth is (some of these people aren't even goths!).

They're the ones who are lowkey hierarchal assholes who think that Trad goth is the only form of gothic expression. (Like these dudes haven't read any gothic literature, written any annoying poetry, contemplated religion, spoken to a goth, or even been to a cemetery!)

So, TLDR, if we are not anti-white supremacist about this whole thing, we could see the next generation fall into consumerist patterns favoring whiteness over the beauty of gothic art.

As always, Thanks for reading!

Let me know if I'm missing anything, or if I should spend more time researching this topic!

Song recommendation; I have been obsessing over this band recently! Genre is like darkwave-alternative rock I suppose.

i try to be nice abt stupid stuff like this bc it ultimately doesn't matter at all and is none of my business but i secretly do kinda think its annoying how attached ppl are to spotify when all other music services are demonstrably better for artists AND listeners and atp the same price as well

The Tide of AI

I’ve been working with generative artificial intelligence (AI here) now for several years, trying to understand a bit about how it works, and following discussions by those much more knowledgeable and more concerned about it than I.

My main uses of AI have been to jumpstart my solutions to programming problems, and to answer questions about many different things in a better way than mere search engines. I also use image generating AIs to produce illustrations for some of my favorite science fiction novels.

I have come to some tentative conclusions.

AI is not now conscious in any sense.

AI is not now capable of telling the difference between its training data and the external world.

AI can produce very useful and rapid solutions for me based on solutions that other people have found.

If a solution has not already been found, then AI has some ability to reason its way to a solution.

Such solutions are not always correct. I run into many outright mistakes. Such mistakes can only be fixed by a human expert, but they sometimes still are quite useful as hints towards a correct solution.

AI is improving rapidly.

The better AI gets, the more the human workflow will involve it. And in looking at how others are using AI, particularly in visual art, I can see that future work in many if not most fields of art, science, engineering, and other forms of expertise will involve a continuous dialogue with AI.

And yet, the AI is doing so much work for one behind the scenes, it’s all but impossible to control everything about the solution. For example, in generating illustrations for Jack Vance’s Demon Princes novels, certain idealized images of the characters are created. If Drusilla Wayles is shown, to make her blond not brunette and full-figured not slim, and dressed in any detailed style, requires a fair amount of work in writing more detailed prompts.

I see this as an obstacle to real originality. In other words, the easier it becomes to use AI and the better the solutions are, the more tempting it will become for me, and probably many other people, to use the AI solution. I feel this will interpose a lot of extra work before getting to real originality without, perhaps, the author fully realizing that. And I feel this could lead of sighs of resignation.

That may well make it harder to achieve true originality in many fields.

I plan to try using AI to compose musical scores as MIDI files, and to design new Csound instruments. That will be probably more enlightening for me than fooling around with illustrating some of my favorite stories, although I will keep doing that.

One thing I am looking for is help with pieces I’m working on. Let’s suppose I have code that produces a complete piece of music, but there are problems I don’t see how to fix. I’d like to be able to say something like “the B section is too much like the A and C sections, edit this code to make the B section not such an obvious rehash of the parts of the A and C sections,” and get some code that either does that, or provides a hint for how I can do that.

I will report on my experiences here.

The world is scary and isolating and overwhelming. It's hard to notice all the little ways people help to make positive collective change. But there's an easy way to go hear some of it at any time:

Listen To Wikipedia by Hatnote

Listen to Wikipedia is a generative ambient musical and visual art piece that's been running since July of 2013 based on Wikipedia edits. Considered as a specific song, it has been playing continuously for over a decade.

"Bells are additions, strings are subtractions. There’s something reassuring about knowing that every user makes a noise, every edit has a voice in the roar. (Green circles are anonymous edits and purple circles are bots. White circles are brought to you by Registered Users Like You.)"

Enough people are out there trying to share some understanding of the entire world around us at a fast enough that in can make interesting music. We're not doing this alone. Many hands make lighter work. Wikipedia is a wonder of the modern world because millions of people willed it into existence together, and the act of that creation constantly continues.

Discover Weekly is so weird. Just because I like Joni Mitchell and I also like some classical music does NOT mean I will like some insipid cover of a Joni song by some classical soprano! Just because I like Billy Bragg and Courtney Barnett and the Velvet Underground doesn't mean I'll like some weird recording of A and B covering a song by C!

I like artists for Their Music. The whole deal. Not just their presence in a recording studio or the sound of their voice. What thrills me is Joni doing Little Green - a heartbreakingly gorgeous song she wrote thinking about her daughter she'd had to give up for adoption - or Billy doing Levi Stubbs' Tears, his own particular strongly-accented voice and bravely stand-alone guitar providing the perfectly unexpected background for a poignant story about a woman suffering domestic abuse and finding solace in the music she loves.

What I love about an artist is EVERYTHING about that artist. If you try to check off as many boxes as possible by having one person I love cover a song by someone else, that does not mean I'll like it twice as much as I liked either of those things on their own. The human heart is not a mathematical algorithm.

Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizes the Music World: The Case of "Neural Notes Revolution"

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming our world, permeating sectors from healthcare to industry, education to transportation. This technology, which aims to replicate and surpass human cognitive abilities, promises to revolutionize the way we live and work.

The applications of AI are numerous and ever-expanding: from medical diagnosis to autonomous driving, data analysis to content creation. A particularly intriguing field is music, where AI is demonstrating remarkable potential.

Recently, there has been much discussion about AI-based music generation platforms like "Suno" and "Udio," accused of violating numerous artists' copyrights to train their algorithms. These controversies highlight the complex ethical and legal issues that AI raises in the artistic field.

In this context, the Italian project "Neural Notes Revolution" emerges, demonstrating how, with the aid of AI programs, the study of algorithms suitable for targeted generation of musical styles, voices, song structures, and with adequate post-processing, it's possible to produce musical pieces of any genre and style, in any language, in relatively short timeframes.

The project also leverages other generative AI platforms such as OpenAI's ChatGPT (Microsoft group, of which Elon Musk was a co-founder), Anthropic's Claude AI, and Google's Gemini. These technologies allow for the generation of texts, both original and based on precise or imaginative prompts, in numerous languages, even using expressions typical of specific localities and dialects.

However, "Neural Notes Revolution" still faces some challenges. The results provided by ChatBOTs require careful verification, and in the music field, generation platforms have significant limitations. In particular, "Suno" and "Udio" lack a precise and rigorous syntax that allows for accurate results. Often, the outcomes are even opposite to those desired, forcing a trial-and-error approach. One of the major limitations is the near-total impossibility of having clear style changes within the same song.

Expected future developments include the ability to modify produced songs in a targeted manner. It would be useful to have separate files for the vocal part, the musical backing, and the lyrics in subtitle format. Moreover, there's hope to be able to modify individual parts of text or music, and above all, to have a correct and rigorously respected syntax for the song structure and use of styles.

The use of these platforms raises several issues. On one hand, they offer new creative possibilities and democratize music production. On the other, they raise concerns about copyright, artistic authenticity, and the future of work in the music industry.

In conclusion, while giving space to creativity, we are still far from competing with the styles, voices, and tones of artists of all time. However, in defense of the "new artists" of the AI era, it must be recognized that creativity and skill are still necessary to produce musical pieces of a certain depth. This is particularly relevant in a modern musical landscape that often offers music devoid of artistic and cultural significance. AI in music thus represents both a challenge and an opportunity, requiring a balance between technological innovation and preservation of human artistic expression.
