    Just experimented with the program Suno, for the first time tonight. Songwriters and music creators have just become obselete. This program writes you songs, in 5 seconds. Literally, you tell the program, you want to write a song about whatever you wish, and in 5 seconds it will write you a song. It can also take one of your original songs, and change its style to just about any gengre you want. It does it all in 5 seconds, and it seems to write really good songs. So I think all musicians are now irrelevant. Just go on your interenet and try it, its called Suno.

    Around the 26 min mark - it’s about risk taking. “Chops players” and virtuosos often aren’t risk takers. I once heard a guy play a Beethoven sonata in a small room (record store?) in SF - I’ve heard some of the worlds best pianists but what made this moment standout was the risks this guy was taking - it was thrilling for everyone in the room. That sense of an artist “risking it all to get there”

    I have been dipping my toes on and off with Twitch but admit to still not really understanding it. The bits and raids and dynamics aren’t really explained in their tutorials for someone like myself who never spent any time in the gaming world. Most of the musician and artist tutorials are from people who were also gamers so the entry level info is not there (at least a much as I have searched) The discomfort and disorientation is so real for me that I keep pausing hoping it will somehow make sense. These streamers also play/talk/dj for hours. I only have a few song releases and still don’t understand the nuances of doing covers (even using bits of my original audio that is publicly released) There have been so many videos about getting banned and strikes for music content and no real clarification, only 3rd party work arounds that coat money. I really wish he elaborated more on that as well as the how the bits subs and follows actually work on the tangible side. Great video though. 3yrs later when I am watching so I am sure much has changed anyway.
