How Do You Feel About The Virtual??

[Nai Noswad]

For a while now I've been following and enjoying virtual music /bands/artists and albums.... they tend to draw on aesthetics of the 80's or 70's to validate their existence....
Playing devil's advocate ~do they need to imitate normal generated music?
.... And do you think it's a rising genre.... or the future.
Example:

I can’t watch either video @Nai Noswad ….it says “sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” This helps protect our community.

I am assuming you have to sign into YouTube or maybe a group on YouTube to watch.

Dang! That regional nonsense again!
1.Airman Alone - Who's Your Friend
2. The Hopping Grasshoppers - No promises.

Humm…good question. I believe in creativity, so imitation isn’t necessary, IMHO.
A Rising genre…..maybe. Technology may be changing the music landscape into music without people…even vocals can be AI generated. Brings back memories of discussions about auto-tune vocals….and how that music was awful.

BTW, Airmen Alone - Who’s Your Friend sounds like Supertramp..

Here is a video created by the man behind Airman Alone. Looks to be AI generated to me

... Yeah, have a look at Forgotten Melodies Records on YT. I was caught napping and thought they were real - it's not everyone's cuppa tea. But I suppose The Archies were the first?

Not a fan of AI anything.

Especially since it took me years and years to learn Photoshop and now the AI's are creating "art" and it just looks like a hallmark card.

I have heard a few that are acceptable, because they imitated Chester's voice. Here they are...

But IMHO, art has to be created by humans because art has soul and depth beyond ones and zeros.
