The Dawn of a New Era: Benoit Carré's Experiments
The musical realm stood still for a moment when Benoit Carré found inspiration from just six notes.
Those notes, however, weren't from a seasoned composer's mind but the result of groundbreaking artificial intelligence.
Carré's engagement with Sony's Paris-based Computer Science Laboratory, under the guidance of the influential AI researcher Francois Paçhet, opened the door to revolutionary AI music tools.
The world took notice when their collaborative project, "Daddy's Car," blurred the lines between man and machine in music composition, showing the potential of audio AI tools in creating authentic melodies.
Beyond Traditional Boundaries: Searching for Surprises
Carré's intrigue with unpredictable chords and melodies epitomizes many artists' quest for originality.
However, it wasn't until he loaded a staggering 470 jazz standards into Flow Machines, an artificial intelligence software, that he found the surprise he yearned for. T
he outcome was a captivating melody, which eventually formed the backbone of the memorable track, "Ballad of the Shadow."
This fusion of Carré's artistry with AI capabilities led to the birth of a new musical entity, Skygge.
As it debuted on the pioneering AI-generated music album, 'Hello World', Skygge spotlighted the fascinating world of generative music and the future of audio production.
The Avalanche Effect: AI's Ascendancy in Modern Music
Fast forward to 2022, and AI for music isn't just a fad; it's the hottest buzzword in the industry.

Navigating the Nuances of AI in Modern Music Creation
With Empress AI Music Tools showcasing the zenith of AI-assisted music innovation, it's only natural to scrutinize the blurred lines between true AI generation and human creation.
Recent controversies like the release of “Heart on My Sleeve” emphasize the importance of understanding these distinctions.
"Heart on My Sleeve": The Misunderstood AI-Generated Phenomenon
It all started with Ghostwriter-977's enigmatic track. Featuring the sonic semblances of Drake and the Weeknd, "Heart on My Sleeve" was propelled into the spotlight, often mislabelled as an entirely "AI-generated" masterpiece.
The sensationalized term, aided by the likes of ChatGPT and image-crafting tools like MidJourney, fostered a misleading belief in the omnipotence of AI tools. The collective fantasy? A world where a mere description of a musical collaboration yields a polished song at the push of a button.
However, that's far from reality. Experts are unanimous in asserting that "Heart on My Sleeve" remains a human endeavor. The only AI flair was in the nuanced transformation of vocals to resemble Drake's and the Weeknd's timbres.
While generative AI can craft convincing college essays and cinematic artwork, fully-fledged pop songs with authentic vocals and lyrics still remain beyond its grasp. As Paçhet, a pioneer in AI-music research, points out, “The complexity is staggering.”
The Backlash and the Future of AI in Music
To many industry insiders, "Heart on My Sleeve" was a controversial piece.
Some critics argued about its lack of authenticity, while others condemned its appropriation of Black artists' vocal characteristics.
Nonetheless, the initial Drake-esque verse gained traction on TikTok, securing over half a million streams before being axed by Universal Music.
The removal, however, hinged on a technicality: Ghostwriter977's use of a copyrighted Metro Boomin producer tag. This decision skirted the deeper, unresolved question: can the distinctive sound of a singer’s voice be copyrighted?
As for Ghostwriter977, their identity remains shrouded in mystery. Initially expressing an interest in being part of this discussion, the mysterious songwriter has since vanished from the conversation.
This saga serves as a testament to the evolving role of AI in music and the challenges that come with its rapid advancements. Whether assisting in music creation or sparking controversies, AI’s presence in music is undeniable and its trajectory, unpredictable.

AI Voice-Cloning: The Next Frontier in Music
Advancements in artificial intelligence have not just transformed how we interact with technology, but they're also reshaping the very landscape of music creation and appreciation.
From Paul McCartney's rejuvenated vocals to tech-savvy fans reviving the glory of Axl Rose's stage performances, the dawn of AI in music is proving to be more than just a fleeting trend.
The Rebirth of Timeless Voices
The magic of AI is breathing new life into the timeless voices of iconic artists.
By replacing the more mature timbres of Paul McCartney's recent songs with the youthful inflection of his Beatles-era, or infusing new vigor into Axl Rose's live performances, technology is defying time.
The potential is enormous. Consider a live concert where artists might use AI clones of their own voices as a high-tech AutoTune, giving their performances a pristine quality.
Revolutionizing Studio Productions
Inside the recording studio, the implications are even more profound. Imagine an artist reaching for those elusive high notes with Melodyne, only to employ a vocal clone for that pitch-perfect sound.
With AI at their fingertips, producers could potentially fill in missing phrases when artists depart sessions prematurely.
The future may even hold scenarios where songwriters pitch tracks to artists using samples of those very artists' voices, a level of customization hitherto unimagined.
The idea of subtle layers of legendary voices like Brian Wilson or Marvin Gaye embedded within backing vocals isn't far-fetched anymore.
In Search of the Perfect Voice
But AI's intervention in music isn't confined to replication.
As Rob Abelow of the consultancy firm Where Music’s Going highlights, the horizon holds prospects of unique synthetic voices crafted by fusing various iconic voices.
Such creations could redefine the boundaries of musical beauty.
A Deluge of AI-Generated Content
Despite the promise and allure, AI's proliferation in music isn't devoid of challenges.
Universal Music CEO Lucian Grainge's recent remarks underscored a palpable concern.
With streaming platforms receiving upwards of 100,000 uploads daily, discerning genuine quality is becoming arduous.
Playlists like Spotify's "Peaceful Piano" are awash with generic tracks, some of which avoid royalties, blurring the lines between genuine artistry and automated output.
