There's harmonious hum echoing between modern technology and music today. Let's take Adobe as a melody maker. They just unveiled an experimental tool that might raise the bar of symphonic blueprinting. This newly made AI gadget, Project Music GenAI Control, is skilled at generating music right from written text. Imagine this; a world where you can sketch a song like you'd outline a portrait, weaving the musical notes and adjusting your opus print into life. Adobe is indeed venturing into a new era of creativity. A creation where lyrics and rhythm rhyme perfectly, thanks to an intelligent algorithm.
A different kind of grandeur is making waves on the personal stereo front. JBL has released its Authentics 300 smart speaker, capable of housing two virtual assistants at once; Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant working together, just like McCartney and Lennon. Coupled with its complementary retro design and vigorous sound, this speaker whistles a pleasing tune to music lovers and the tech-savvy. Keeping the rhythm going, let's tackle some open-ear earbuds that certainly strike the right chord for music connoisseurs who prioritize situational awareness over isolation.
Adding to the sentimental aspects, Dr. Matthew Knowle's recent revelation about his daughter, Beyoncé's musical roots, has shocked the music world. According to him, country music, beloved by her grandfather, played a significant role inspiring the baby Beyoncé herself. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and in this case, the song is not much different from the lullaby.
In another shocking turn, Disney's recent announcement unveils a surprise sequel, Moana 2, scheduled to hit theaters this year. Disney apparently has their own surprise album drop game going, except, instead of songs, it's blockbusters. And Disney's investment in Epic is surely an encore. The $1.5 billion collaboration is to create a 'persistent universe' interconnected to Fortnite. Disney's tune seems to be one of stealthy surprises and billion-dollar investments.
On a different note, the allegations of copyright infringement against Kanye West, for sampling Ozzy Osbourne and Donna Summer's music on his new album 'Vultures 1', strikes a discordant note. Collaboration in music is an ancient practice, but legal troubles seem to be the downside of this creative fusion. While technology and investment are reshaping the music industry, legal issues stay loyal, like a vintage vinyl record reminding us of precedents set in bygone eras.
