I Sing the Song AI-Tony Gerber and the Singing Poet Society: The Echoes Podcast
AI is everywhere and so many places you don’t even know it. Last year we even programmed an entire echoes using AI. It was pretty good, but dated. You know AI is in pop and library music, but there is one musician trying to use it for Art. His name is Tony Gerber and you’ve heard him with the electronic trio Spacecraft, Giles Reaves and Phil Keaggy and on many solo releases. He had the idea of taking classic poetry, setting it to AI manipulated music and using AI singers. It’s called the Singing Poet Society.
Tony Gerber: Another, another point is that, you know, without the advent of AI to assist acting kind of as an assistant in this particular case, this idea would never have even come to fruition or even come about.
Tony is one of the least AI musicians you can imagined. We had him playing live pre-pandemic with Giles Reaves and I’m sure he was actually playing. Discover Tony Gerber’s journey and the music he’s creating in the Echoes Podcast.
