Side Projects: Artificial Intelligence In Music

Today’s guest makes me feel artificially intelligent. Welcome back Fredrik Sareoa of Datarock. And with his band’s new release and their use of AI in different aspects of the album, I thought he’d be the perfect person to have on for a discussion about artificial intelligence in music. But that’s not all we talk about. Fredrik gives new bands some wardrobe advice, how he’s always worried about being sued, Superman’s sex life, what he REALLY wants people to know about Datarock’s music. Fredrik tries to describe a crayon, DOES describe what Gorby’s are and how he connects them to Lil Pump. And somehow all of that becomes a tribute to the Beastie Boys. Datarock created their own version of AI called Call Me HAL that uses Trevor Noah’s voice (see the above comment about getting sued). And he’s confident that while’s there’s a lot that AI can and will be able to do, there’s also a lot that it will NEVER be able to do. Fingers crossed, there, Fredrik.
