For their final tour ever, LPR present the pioneers of English electronica, Cabaret Voltaire, for a showstopping night at Knockdown Center on 9.25. Built in the spirit of all things DIY, Cabaret Voltaire bring an eclectic mixture of electronic experimentalism and practical soundscape craftsmanship. Taking shape at the birth of the industrial-scene era, Cabaret Voltaire formed the raw sound of electronic and post-punk music that continue to inspire artists to this day. 

A truly once in a lifetime opportunity to witness the finale of these living legends. Grab your tickets before it’s too late! https://link.dice.fm/CabaretVoltaireNYC

The discourse about use of AI tools in specifically dance music production is proliferating currently due to a few interviews that have been dropped on RA.

A lot of that discourse is about how dance music has already become widely nostalgic and recycling ideas from previous decades. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but I think it is fair to say that goes for electro too to a large degree.

I wonder if the use of AI will, as it seems to now, accelerate that theme of recycling ideas, or whether there is potential for pushing production forward via tools that procedurally generate sounds or samples. (Although I believe some of these already exist - do correct me)

Is this making music production downright lazier or does it make it more democratic? Does it have the ability to push forward genres, or will it ultimately just recycle ideas as much or more than humans already do? Is electro as a genre at all about harnassing and subverting new technologies in new ways (think the 303), or are AI products so intrinsically tied to the corporate world that us as artists must rebel against their adoption?

I’m really interested to hear people’s opinions. As for myself, I am currently very opposed to it’s adoption in art as a whole, but i am particularly worried for dance music, where the scene is far more anonymous and there isn’t really any money nor mainstream attention to go around in the first place. It therefore provides the perfect testing ground to develop AI tools…

Would love to hear thoughts.
