Sony's Computer Science Laboratory in Paris may have found an answer: artificial intelligence. The corporation's creative research leg has already produced two tracks using artificial intelligence, a software they're calling Flow Machines. One of their first tracks, "Daddy's Car," nails The Beatles style and captures a transcendental, nostalgic pop vibe. The future of electronic music may soon have a lot more electronic influence start to finish.
Now, the advantage for record companies is obvious: they own the music their AI creates outright. With the advances with robotics, CGI & VR, you can count on virtual music stars with entirely original music coming in our future.
