just talked at an AI and music conference at IU Bloomington and I’m happy to report that every student I talked to is militantly radicalized against suno so that’s nice

when companies come crawling back from the ai bubble burst and need Premium Grade Artist Labor again

In terms of their influence on musician culture, this is almost certainly true.

This Tucson maga-adjacent sports bar was just playing Miles Davis’s On the Corner for the past hour, followed by… “Hail to the Redskins.” Idk, man. Idk.

some tango

Time is a finite resource, and many in the working class do not have time. Suno is very time-cheap, the same way fast food is time-cheap for people in food deserts who cannot take 2 hours to travel to a grocery store for money-cheap groceries.

I tried calculating a metric modulation and my calculator tapped out

One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I get is that on the Adam Neely channel is that, I, Adam Neely should never talk about Adam Neely’s music in any context.

I’m thinking about how some reacted negatively to the end of my video, and I was just recommended (by a human) this video, that is relevant. youtu.be/Bm2Q9HkbLsQ?... Their conclusion is to “log off,” but they acknowledge that some people simply cannot, and that creates a digital caste system.

I made a long video about technocapitalism and AI music youtu.be/U8dcFhF0Dlk?...

Of course Sor Hands posted a reaction video to Marbin’s interview with the STL smalls guy. Sigh

Of course Marbin did an interview with the STL smalls guy. Sigh

Somehow found myself on the Simple English Wikipedia entry for Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto, and more program notes should be like this tbh

Earnest questions for visual AI artists! 1. What about AI lets you do different things from other digital art? 2. Do you feel like you have a unique “voice” with your AI art? 3. What AI visual artists inspire you? What about their work makes you inspired?

Doing some duo gigs with Lau Noah next month, come hang! www.songkick.com/artists/1038...

Just saw sinners. That movie’s pretty good, huh?

Fare thee well, Jim McNeely.

sadly expected news iverson.substack.com/p/jim-mcneely

new tune with Lau Noah called “Bones” 🏜️

On Instagram, there is a NYC jazz bassist who is very aggressively promoting his “BassGPT” LLM app. I admit, I didn’t see the jazz pdf-seller to AI grifter pipeline coming, but in retrospect, it was inevitable.

The sheer number of “I’m a real musician, I swear!” posts on the r/Suno subreddit is pretty sad, honestly. Other music-related subreddits are just people sharing tips on how to make dope beats, but the main effect of making AI music seems to be deep existential anxiety of the value of your work.
