As technology continues to evolve, so does the music industry. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a major player in the world of music production and consumption. From AI-generated songs to virtual concerts, AI is transforming how we experience music. Nowhere is this more evident than with Canadian musician Grimes’s latest album Miss Anthropocene. The record features collaborations with some of today’s biggest stars like Drake and The Weeknd as well as innovative use of AI technology to create unique sounds that are unlike anything else out there right now.
Grimes has been at the forefront of using AI in her work for years now, but Miss Anthropocene takes it to a whole new level. On tracks like “Delete Forever” she uses an algorithm called Amper Music which allows her to generate custom instrumentals on demand without having any musical knowledge or expertise herself. This means that she can craft complex soundscapes from scratch without needing help from producers or engineers – something that would have been impossible just a few years ago!
The album also features several collaborations with other artists who are pushing boundaries when it comes to incorporating AI into their work too. For example, Drake appears on “We Appreciate Power” where he raps over an instrumental created by Google Magenta – another type of machine learning software designed specifically for creating original compositions based on user input data such as lyrics or melodies provided by humans. Similarly, The Weeknd contributes vocals for “Blinding Lights” which was composed entirely by an artificial neural network trained on his own discography!
It’s clear that Grimes is leading the charge when it comes to exploring what’s possible with modern day technologies and how they can be used creatively within music production and performance contexts alike – something that could potentially revolutionize our understanding of what constitutes ‘music’ altogether! It will be interesting to see where things go next as more musicians start experimenting with these tools and discovering new ways in which they can express themselves through soundscapes generated entirely by machines…
