James Ginzburg and Paul Purgas released Blossoms earlier this year, an album that, as they explain, “was generated entirely from the output of a neuronal network-based artificial intelligence system”. After training the software with hours of improvised recordings as well as old tracks of themselves, the system generated multiple sounds that, thanks to Emptyset’s human action and touch, have become ten songs – whose titles, just like the album’s, are related to nature and flowers: Petal, Pollen, Bloom or Filament, among others. AS they explain, “the record itself is a biomimetic phenomenon. A machine enacting a biological process in an entirely synthetic way.” Today we speak with them about the future of music and technology, the challenges of performing live an AI-created album, and what keeps them excited about the future.
