About this episode
The episode explores the evolving definition of a musician in the context of advancing technology and its impact on music creation.
In a world of ever advancing tech, who gets to call themselves a musician? We dig into the technology quietly reshaping music, why new tech always gets a rough reception, DJs, AI, and the big question: can a machine ever really make art? Spoiler: we don't think it can.
