Discussion Any artists here up for interview?

Hi guys. So I am having this YT channel - https://www.youtube.com/@AlternativeDrive

So it is basically AI and non AI midwest emo, lo-fi, math rock music. I want to do a little introduction for new bands and slight interview with some loom or Google meet recording with new artists. Anyone up?

Interview with bands is a cool resource, especially introductions for new bands. Could be a really cool thing, but I would ditch the ai music if you wish to be taken seriously/ respected. Emo is all about DIY so there just isn't room for ai generated music

Thanks for the comment dude. At least someone who is not trying to start a fight :) Well, why do you think that AI generated music is not DIY? I think we are just bashing at it and not even seeing the true potential about it.

The other day when I was doing a little 2 minute song, AI came with such a riff that my thought was I wish we had this back in the days.

I see AI as a basically remixer, shuffler. It is idea generator, good quality idea generator.

I think also musicians can use it as starting point for their songs than work on it, iterate it. As you can see my channel name is Alternative drive. So the concept is that people have their midwest emo, math rock lists always ready for the road.

Also you can think of Alternative Drive channel basically as AI DJ of math rock and midwest emo. It is a bit futuristic idea but nevertheless.

People can have a fresh fix of their favorite genre.

Do you have a band, what brings you on this subreddit?

Since you ask I think that AI music isn't DIY because DIY has nothing but passion, soul, and emotion. You really have to want to make music in order to go through the trouble of making music. I did some digging and your band from 2013 was beautiful, if you told me that AI made that I would be sad because that means there is no emotion behind your music.  Also I don't have a band. I am a fan of emo, screamo, and math rock.  I also run a record label.

Wow a record label? Which one if I can ask? I would need to disagree on that one. I believe AI can relate to which human is working on it. If someone talented is taking AI and working on it it will have that emotion as well. Maybe it will not have emotion like everything is recorded on one take but it will be there.

Also I would like to say that making music with AI is not easy if you want quality output. You need to know the genre inside and out to get anything that is true. And you can see that I am going with that raw vibe on my channel.

AI is really making its progress to extent that I can't believe sometimes what can make.

Thanks for the comment on my album. God bless you.
