Generative Hero
The "Guitar Hero" rhythm game series sold 60+ million units worldwide the past 10 years. Generative AI Music is unlocking a far more significant opportunity to build highly accessible, game-like musical instruments that enable very broad audiences to make music like pros.

"Working in generative music, it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you can simulate the music bit for bit. But when you go out to a music event it becomes very clear that there is something deeper at play here: People seek cultural experiences and connection to other people" - Paraphrasing @SignalsNSorcery

The narrative surrounding AI music technology is currently often rather primitive: "Hey, I've created an AI that generates music automatically. Isn't that awesome? The end."
However, any seasoned music producer may question: "Where are the creative controls? How does this fit into my workflow? Is this just a toy or will AI replace me?"
We have the opportunity and responsibility to elevate the conversation and focus on how AI can augment music production, inspire new creative processes, and empower artists, fans and businesses.

Google recently pinned a post "Our principles for partnering with the music industry on AI technology" Despite the vague jargon being thrown around like "responsible AI use", it is clear that the emerging model they are proposing is tailored to, and dominated by, corporate giants like Google and UMG. Their commitment to supporting artists seems to be a mere platitude, with main focus being on creating a closed source system, optimized for their profit and control. This potential 'generative land-grab' is a chilling prospect in an already highly centralized media landscape.

The exceptional team at @okio_ai has been absolutely killing it developing nendo, the open source generative AI music tool suite. As we teeter on the edge of the generative music revolution, there's an exciting rhythm in the air, that fills my heart with joy.

We are heading into a world of "self-optimizing media experiences", where in a data-driven feedback loop, generative systems continuously adjust parameters to meet the demands of fine grained customer segments. Coming sooner than many think, with K-Pop doing this already at scale today.
