A very interesting and well written article about generative #AI music from @ArisTake
I suggest everyone, musician or not, to read it and let it sink before spouting careless opinions. Music changed over night, but not many realize it yet.

🎉 41 years ago today — July 23, 1985 — Commodore launched the Amiga 1000 at Lincoln Center in New York City and completely changed personal computing. Restored and presented in 1080p HD

In front of a star-studded audience, Andy Warhol live-painted Debbie Harry (Blondie) on stage using the Amiga, proving this machine was something special.

This wasn’t just another computer — it was the birth of multimedia computing.

✅ True preemptive multitasking
✅ Up to 4096 colors & advanced custom graphics chips
✅ 4-channel stereo sampled sound
✅ Years ahead of Apple, IBM, and Atari

The Amiga 1000 brought professional-level graphics, sound, and creativity into people’s homes for the first time.

The Logic Theorist was a computer program built by Herbert Simon, Allen Newell and Cliff Shaw. It's often called the first AI program.

It proved theorems from Principia Mathematica. For one theorem it found a proof shorter and more elegant than the one in the book. That program is 70 years old this year.

[Davide Sgualdini @davidesgualdini]

I worked really hard on this one! Fun fact:
At one point during the mixing stage the album was complete but we weren't totally happy of how the drums were sounding. I couldn't risk sacrificing Gary's amazing performance... So I started from scratch again and finally nailed it!

[Antoine Fafard @antoinefafard]

@GHusband Dear maestro, have you considered Bluesky? It looks like it's a much better platform for artists.
