Young people are increasingly using AI to make music – but is it killing creativity? | British News

According to a charity, young people are increasingly using AI for various creative processes such as making music.

Tee Peters, musician and program director at Sound Connections, has used AI to create his music Music for years.

He said that for him AI acts as the “perfect assistant” when it comes to mixing and mastering songs.

“Throughout my journey so far, I’ve had times where I’ve been alone — I don’t have my entire team with me, I don’t have my producers, I don’t have my engineer.

“Software and tools driven by AI help me fill in the gap of people missing in the space.”

Mr. Peters also uses it to create cover art and marketing materials.

“When I was making music, I spent a lot of time figuring out how to do so many things as one person in a short amount of time.”

“When I spend so much time doing a lot of non-music-related tasks that I need to finish, it’s kind of counterproductive, so the AI ​​has helped me a lot.”

According to a new Youth Music survey, 63% of young creatives aged 16-24 are using AI in a variety of ways, including making music.

The charity spoke to 2,829 people of all ages across the country and found that people over 55 are skeptical about the use of assistive AI – only 19% use the technology.

Youth Music CEO Matt Griffiths said AI is particularly useful for improving accessibility and breaking down barriers that young creators often face.

“The industry has often been about privilege, and in fact this gives opportunities for people who don’t have those privileges to get involved.”

“I think some of the positives are that young creatives are often doing it for themselves, so they don’t have the resources to get other people to help them.”

“They have access to AI that allows them to write song lyrics, write press releases, write marketing copy, and do all the important administrative tasks that they can do themselves.”

Singer-songwriter Paul Martin said he questions the use of AI.

“There are some things that can encourage creativity and others that can curb creativity.

“For example, beat generation, melody generation and lyrics generation – if you have machines doing that for you, there’s no point in doing that at all.”

“It should come from the heart or the soul when you think up a rhythm, it should be a flash of inspiration.”

“When a machine does it for you, you ask yourself: Why am I making music at all?”

“On the other hand, you can be inspired by AI that will help you learn melody, lyrics and rhythm.”

He said there were also concerns about legal challenges that AI could pose.

“AI-generated music has learned from hundreds of thousands of tunes and songs by original artists.
