Bjork and Microsoft Use AI to Make Music That Changes With the Weather

This is really amazing stuff... I think some sort of ambient art installation where the music changes based on the weather (say in some sort of outdoor amphitheatre) would be amazing.

yeah but does it djent

Very cool!  I really like this kind of stuff, I’ve been doing some stuff lately using bio-sensors to control synths, something really cool about collaborating with nature on music.

how much are you paid for this stuff

I'm not - I see an article (preferably music-related), and I post it. WATMM has no advertising beyond attributed links, which as of late don't pay anything (not that they really did to begin with).

Can't you just comment on the subject matter, without turning this into a personal dig at me?

Just gonna post this here again:

https://www.edge.org/conversation/jaron_lanier-the-myth-of-ai

Having worked for most of the 2000s on the back end of music related AI, as soon as I hear the term I pretty much stop listening now.  Jaron explains why better than I would.

maybe lopez meant how much bjork was paid to do stuff like dis? dunno tho 

personally I appreciate u sharing stuff like dis joypapa

I make music depending on the weather too.

Sunny: “hee hee hoo hoo weee”

Rainy: *bong rip*
Snowy: “Shiver me timbers”

Volcanoc eruption: “Oof ouch owie my skin”

this unlisted video popped up at the end... Julianna Barwick doing her thing with the same ideas i guess but i guess MS didn't promote the thing with her, odd....anyway, the album with some of that music on it came out last month:

and a small write-up from RA about it, i think i'd read something else maybe but can't remember now

anyway i listen to JB more these days than Bjork so i'm suggesting maybe check her out too. Nepenthe is fucking amazing.

Julianna Barwick played a church here recently and that was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. 

When this shit comes:

Everybody is going to be pointing fingers at Bjork.

Correct, it was also a gay church. And if you made too much noise during the set you were ejected. Top IDM.

I thought of doing something like this with a Disklavier. Have it generate different music based on the amount of people in the room and weather data.

When is Rainy Daze Bong Ripz Vol.1 coming out ?

April 20th

You’d think Björk would be powerful enough to change the weather by herself.

Björk/Greta collab confirmed

Don't forget that Autechre can make tracks for 12 different types of rain - https://forum.watmm.com/topic/89167-ae_live/page/40/?tab=comments#comment-2642992

if that ai was fed with cornwall weather data it would make sosw
