• Infinite Remix - a Journey into AI Music
    Mar 6 2023

    It can paint any picture you can imagine – and many more that you can’t. It devours every word on the internet then tells us what we want to hear. Its invisible algorithms oversee more of our lives than we’re ever aware of.

    But what can AI, or artificial intelligence, do with music?

    Music writer Abi Bliss meets the people who are working with cutting-edge machine learning technology to produce sounds never heard before. Join her as she encounters imaginary rivers, sliced-up sonatas, human-animal hybrids and data falling down stairs. And find out from those who know: what’s it like to create in partnership with a neural network? What does an AI-powered future hold for human musicians? And how might it change the way we listen?

    Infinite Remix was written, produced and presented by Abi Bliss as part of an artistic residency with PRiSM.
    Features music and audio excerpts by Sam Salem, Christopher Melen, Astral Social Club, Vicky Clarke and Melanie Wilson.
    All other incidental music was generated from text prompts by Mubert and used according to the Mubert Render Licence Agreement.

    This work is supported by PRiSM, The RNCM Centre for Practice & Research in Science & Music, funded by the Research England fund Expanding Excellence in England (E3).
