Keiko Yamada/Larry Clark appears on UIL (University Interscholastic League) 2025-2026 Prescribed Music List.

An advantage of not working w/ broadcast journalism deadlines that I can follow stories for decades. Keiko Yamada/Larry Clark controversy continues a decade later w/ Yamada still being programmed today. Updated info on my blog post www.kyokokitamura.com/the-case-of-...

Pianist Jonathan Paik last night. This video does not do full justice so multiply by a thousand to imagine the extent of musicality and talent. Do check out his band Fugitive. Unbelievable. Drums: Whit Dickey #music

The show i did is now archived wfmu.org/archiveplaye...

Tomorrow, on WFMU, I'll be playing rare gems from Japan, including two recent tracks from Nonoko Yoshida and an oldie from Manami Kakudo. Also a rare track by Agnès Palier. Plus a radio edit excerpt from Anthony Braxton's Sonic Genome from 2019. And lots more. 2-5PM. #music

Reaction to my unscientific AI-music tool experiment: "AI is powerful and we need to be aware" comments invariably came from those who were engaged with AI in their respective fields, did not see AI as a binary good/bad situation, knew it was all around us.

What also scares me is the speed of transition. We don't have time to reflect. Move fast, break things, ask for forgiveness? And look where it's gotten us now.

If most people can't tell an AI-generated track from human-made, does authorship matter? If fans create a community around an AI artist, is music still functioning as community anchor? Have we already reached a point of no return? #music #AI

AI Band Neon Oni to Tour Japan with Live Musicians | ForkLog

The "AI" musical group Neon Oni is set to perform live concerts in Japan. "Initially, Neon Oni existed solely in the digital realm. Its creator, known as Kage, used Suno AI to generate music and conceived seven fictional members from Tokyo." #music #AI #AImusic #MusicAI

Google MusicLM (Pre-MusicFX) 2023 samples Compiling samples of pre-Suno AI music generator creations. This is from Google's MusicLM, currently called MusicFX. Samples were collected in May 2023. Suno launched in December 2023.

AI music generator samples from 2023 now compiled in my Soundcloud. I was an early tester for Google's MusicLM, now MusicFX. In less than 3 years, AI music generators went from sideshow to industry powerhouse. Compare to my Suno playlist for full effect. #music #AI

Blood Burden, by Alfredo Colón 8 track album

Currently listening to Alfredo Colón's Blood Burden, so good.

All in a blog post, the devastatingly convincing AI-generated music and even ways turn it into sheet music. Very disturbing. #Suno #music

Not to be overly dramatic, but you can hear capitalism ripping the heart out of human creativity here. I guess thanks to Kyoko for providing such a clear example of how sad all of this is. Make sure to listen to the OG tracks at the bottom of the playlist (maybe listen to them first).

Thank you for reposting! If we are aware, we can better prepare. My methodology is in the "description" section of the Soundcloud playlist, including why I chose Suno over Udio & Mureka. I still firmly believe that the live performance experience will remain the core of music, perhaps more so now.

I put my music through the AI music generator SUNO and this is what happened, now compiled in one place on this Soundcloud Playlist. The results are devastatingly good and incredibly disturbing. #music #SUNO #AI
