Outsiders: Bop Fantasies - Do You Believe in Love After Automation?
The voice is the original human instrument. That first point of contact humans made with that funny little thing we call music (at least in the western tradition). And if music helps us express stories, emotions, identities, and even cultures, then the voice was the original way to do this.
But how does this change when we autotune? Or use AI voice programming? How do these developments impact the way we convey human subjectivity? Miles, Mav, and Ant find out in this hour of bops, field recordings, and chats with Nykolaes, Daniël Paul, Tommy Moisi, and your favorite AI: Boperina.
