Artificial intelligence in the music streaming value chain: Exploring artists' and users’ perceptions on content creation and algorithmic consumption

Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role throughout every stage of the music industry value chain. In fact, AI has been integral to the value proposition of music streaming platforms since their inception. This research article investigates how AI—and in particular, Generative AI (GenAI)—affects the creation and consumption stages, the two most socially significant components of the music streaming value chain. It explores users’ perceptions of the impact of AI/GenAI on their music-listening experience…

Reclaiming the Sonic Archive: AI, Data Sovereignty, and the Future of Mijikenda Music

This paper examines the ethical implications and risks of applying artificial intelligence (AI) to Indigenous musical heritage, with a specific focus on the Mijikenda communities in the coast of Kenya. Traditional AI tools, deeply rooted in Western systems of knowledge, carry a significant risk of perpetuating digital colonialism. This manifests through the decontextualisation of sacred musical practices and the infringement of crucial data sovereignty rights. The study aims to analyse the fundamental effects em…

Musicians must embrace ‘unstoppable force’ of AI, Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart urges

The Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart has said artificial intelligence is an “unstoppable force”, and musicians and other artists should bow to the inevitable and license their music to generative AI platforms. These platforms use artificial intelligence to analyse existing songs and tracks, using that knowledge to generate completely new ones as prompted by a user. For example, someone could ask the AI platform to generate a song about a boozy night out in the style of a Britpop band, and it would draw on song…

Paul McCartney joins music industry protest against AI with silent track

At two minutes 45 seconds it’s about the same length as With a Little Help From My Friends. But Paul McCartney’s first new recording in five years lacks the sing-along tune and jaunty guitar chops because there’s barely anything there. The former Beatle, arguably Britain’s greatest living songwriter, is releasing a track of an almost completely silent recording studio as part of a music industry protest against copyright theft by artificial intelligence companies. In place of catchy melodies and evocative lyrics…

Integrating AI and cloud-edge technologies for music creation in educational and performance domains

This paper provides a systematic exploration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for music generation within a cloud-edge synergy architecture (i.e. a coordinated cloud–edge computing paradigm where the cloud handles compute-intensive training and high-fidelity generation, while the edge supports latency-sensitive and privacy-critical inference and interaction), focusing on its deep integration and practical applications across educational and performance ecosystems. It begins by reviewing the evolution of key techn…

Robert Laidlow: Reality Eaters album review

Robert Laidlow is as at home in the realms of science and technology as he is in the world of classical music. As this NMC debut album demonstrates, his intricate, wildly imaginative work is eminently approachable, even if the core concepts are highly complex. Warp, a terse, 12-minute piano concerto, proposes a musical solution to Einstein’s field equations as the intrepid Joseph Havlat boldly goes where no pianist has gone before amid the distorting fabric of orchestral space-time. Strident orchestral lines spi…
