One of the most important conversations going on in society today—and especially concerning the arts—is the rise, use, and misuse of Artificial Intelligence.
Vernon Reid, the co-founder and incendiary guitarist for Living Colour, has always embraced technology in his work with instruments and recording going back decades. And he has a more nuanced view of how A.I. will impact how we absorb music and what it means for artists: living, dead, and wholly imagined. He’s both written about the topic and spoken on it in multiple interviews.
“Look at Stevie Wonder’s albums from the 1970s. His voice, the words, the music, that’s all a database. You could say into a program ‘I would like to hear a song from therecord that doesn’t exist.’ Half of it will be crap. Others could be pieces of music that are moving and potential hits! Spotify could create an artificial artist entirely.”
But there will be no worries about A.I. music on Living Colour’s current tour, which finds them opening shows for hard-rocking contemporaries Extreme. It will stop at Houston’s House of Blues on February 20. Reid says he got to know Extreme’s guitarist, Nuno Bettencourt, while both taught at Rage Against the Machine/solo artist Tom Morello’s guitar camp.
Of course, the reality of the music industry and veteran band putting out new music today has been upended by streaming and online distribution. But Reid says he and band mates Corey Glover , Will Calhoun and Doug Wimbish are staying creative and have already started recording new music. What form that will take or how it’s released has not yet been determined.
