The music lost, with the suicide of Kurt Cobain, the voice that identified an entire generation, between pain and rage. In 1994, the leader of Nirvana decided to end his life, giving way to the beginning of his legend. But in recent years, the Artificial intelligence has paid tribute to him, creating a new theme based on his successes.
over the bridge, an organization that fights for funds for mental health, promotes the project Lost Tapes of the 27 Club, where bots not only produce music by Cobain, but also by other figures who died very young, such as Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison.
In Cobain’s case, Artificial Intelligence created a song called drowned in the sun, which can be heard on Youtube.
How to “revive” Kurt Cobain and his music
To achieve this, as a form of machine learning, several songs with the voice of Kurt Cobain were added, along with the voice of a singer who pays tribute to the band Nirvana.
Thus, the lyrics and music were created by bots, but based on the work of Cobain. You can hear the result below.
Ace Piva is after Over the Bridge, and explained in 2021 to the Kuow portal how the song “by” Cobain was produced. “Basically, we took a collection of songs and had Artificial Intelligence software called Google Magenta I will listen to them over and over again. We then asked the AI software to play a new song in that style.”
“Every musical element you hear, from the lyrics to the melodies, the hooks and the beats, was written by Artificial Intelligence. We then had a vocalist perform the AI-written lyrics for the AI-written melody.”
Is it music that creates an Artificial Intelligence? It’s art?
Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, which is the attempt to reproduce human intelligence in machines or computers, songs of deceased characters are not only made, but they can be “revived” in videos.
But not everyone agrees with this. Nicole Buckler, on the Be in Crypto portal, A couple of questions arise. “Is music produced by a bot really music? Is this creativity? And if it’s something we’re all hearing, will humans lose their musical abilities, since they’re no longer needed?
The positions regarding doubts are varied. For some, it is only the human being and his experience that make the music good; for others, Artificial Intelligence helps to improve the event, making “a song more beautiful, much more precise”.
