![]() Today’s AI for musicians consists of plug-ins that perform specific tasks. Today’s text2music technologies give impressive results, but they can be taken or left and give the impression that there is only one solution, whereas the point of AI is to offer several solutions so that musicians can choose the one that inspires them. I think researchers should always take a musical approach to inventing new tools. You could play with styles by giving at least two scores, and Flow Machines would generate fragments of music that were sometimes very inspiring. I don’t think there’s been anything as exciting since. “I started at Sony CSL with Flow Machines, which I helped develop with researchers. What do you think about the debates around this in 2023? You’ve been working with AI technology in your music longer than most musicians. It’s great, but it’s dangerous because it means I can make a model with Taylor Swift’s voice, hybridize it with other singers and get a vocal clone that’s impossible to trace.” These days I can train my own model overnight with a Google notebook, just imagine all the mixes you can do. Technologically, it’s dizzying! At the moment I’m creating a hybrid voice model between a female voice and my own voice. The labels will follow if the biggest artists take the plunge. The technology is there now and we need to take advantage of it. “I love the idea of artists taking the lead and inventing new businesses. What are your thoughts on this idea of officially-licensed vocal clones controlled by (and rewarding) the original artist? ![]() As voice is a key element of my identity, I find it very new to be able to mix it with another one, it opens a new field of creation.” It’s like playing with your image, changing your identity. It’s creative because I can sing closer to the way she sings and hybridize myself even more. Hearing myself sing with Grimes’ timbre was really cool. The output that you get is exactly the same song with the same melody and rhythm, but the timbre has been changed. It’s important to remember that to use voice cloning technology, you have to sing yourself first! Once you’ve sung the song, you upload your voice (without music) to the cloning technology. ![]() Ocean Noir was the right song to replace my vocal timbre with a vocal clone.Įlftech was extremely easy to use, a simple drag-and-drop process. The sound I got at the time was alien, strange, and melancholic. In 2022, I released a song called Ocean Noir, which was directly inspired by the unlikely combination of a Schubert fugue and a Cuica. Grimes has put her very realistic Elftech voice clone online. The technology has come a long way since then. There was already a wide choice of voice clones, HAL 9000 (from the film A Space Odyssey), Barack Obama, David Bowie, Lady Gaga, and many more. “I discovered voice cloning about a year ago on. How did the new version of Ocean Noir come about, and what was it like to create? ![]()
