After almost 4 decades, the world got to hear the final song of John Lenon’s song ‘Now and Then’ recorded in the 1970s on tape. Originally, the sound of the tape was too rough to release – until technology took the world by storm. With the help of sound separation – an AI technology, producers were able to pull Lenon’s voice from the rough music and place it into a polished soundscape. This is how in 2023, we got to hear the ‘NEW’ Beatles song.
From the above example, it has been clear that AI is more than just a tool; it is a powerhouse that is changing the way music is made, perceived and interpreted. In this blog, we are going to discuss how technology is changing the future trends in the music industry.
Did you know?
HyScaler, an IT software consulting group has developed a music app where artists can upload their songs and even schedule across music platforms like Spotify and Ganna. With this application, artists can adjust effects, experiments and sound components to refine and produce high-quality music tracks.
In this blog, we are going to list top 5 AI applications that explain how evolution in technology is changing the world of music.
AI in Music Composition
It might surprise you but AI can help in composing music, suggest harmonies and even help master tracks – all from a laptop. For example, Amper Music is used by various creators and musicians to generate royalty-free tracks. All you have to do is select the genre, mood and duration of the song and let your new friend generate a fine musical piece in minutes – something that would naturally take some days.
AI as a Music Analyst
AI does not just make music; it reads it. Various music applications like Spotify use AI to analyze your playlist preferences and then curates music that feels eerily personal. As a matter of fact, 80% of songs on Spotify are discovered by the platforms’ AI powered recommendation engine. That is a staggering amount, indicating just how deeply our music choices are influenced by algorithms.
AI as a Songwriter
Over the years, AI has ventured into songwriting, a domain once reserved for poets and lyricists. Tools like Jukedeck can generate melodies, while MuseNet can simulate compositions in the style of famous artists, from Bach to Beyonce. Interestingly, some artists are using AI not to replace songwriting but to inspire it.
Recently, musician Taryn Southern used Ampere to co-compose her album I AM I, one of the first albums ever created in collaboration with AI. On the bright side, this is a revolution in the music industry. On the other hand, it raises a philosophical question: Who gets the credit? What will happen to music when creativity is governed by algorithms?
Surprising Facts
- 70% of Gen Z listeners stated that AI generated playlists have led them to discover new genres they would not have explored otherwise.
- The global revenues of AI in music is expected to reach $2.6 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 27% over the next few years.
- Spotify AI driven “Discover Weekly Playlist” generated over 2.3 billion hours of music discoveries.
