Abstract
Musik og teknologi har haft en uløselig forbindelse gennem historien. I disse dage bliver denne forbindelse endnu stærkere på grund af stigende inkorporering af teknologi i musikfremstillingsprocesser. Kunstig intelligens er en af de nyeste og nye integrationer, der både er en fascinerende og problematisk teknologi. Fænomenerne musikalsk fortælling, mening og følelser ser ud til at være blandt de mest bekymrende at parre sammen med kunstig intelligens. Denne artikel undersøger den Postfenomenologiske formidling af musikalsk historiefortælling, mening og følelsesmæssig udtryk gennem hjælp til software til oprettelse af kunstig intelligens Orb Composer og Orb Producer Suite for bedre at forstå teknologien, dens fordele og ulemper og til sidst finde Tekno-Antropologisk løsninger af hvordan man integrerer sådan software med hensyn til oplevelser fra musikproducenter og lyttere. Otte hovedtyper af teknologiske medier opstår efter at have udført etnografiske undersøgelser af brugere og lyttere: (1) lyd og formidling af musikalsk historiefortælling, mening og følelser, (2) formidling af lytterens oplevelse, (3) musikideer og hjælp til kunstig intelligens, (4) intuitiv og regelbaseret kreativitet, (5) maskine som en kreativ partner, (6) kreativ beslutningstagning, (7) formidling af inspiration og (8) hermeneutik af anvendelse af musikalsk kunstig intelligens software.
Music and technology have had an inextricable connection through history. These days this connection is getting even stronger due to the increasing incorporation of technology into the music-making processes. Artificial intelligence is one of the most recent and emerging integrations that is both a fascinating and problematic technology. The phenomena of musical storytelling, meaning and emotions appear to be among the most troubling to couple with artificial intelligence. This paper explores the Post-Phenomenological mediation of musical storytelling, meaning and emotional expression through artificial intelligence music creation assistance software Orb Composer and Orb Producer Suite to better understand the technology, its advantages and disadvantages, and finally, to find Techno-Anthropological solutions of how to integrate such software in terms of the experiences of music makers and listeners. Eight main types of technological mediations emerge after doing ethnographic studies of users and listeners: (1) sound and mediation of musical storytelling, meaning and emotions, (2) mediation of listener’s experience, (3) musical ideas and assistance of artificial intelligence, (4) intuitive and rule-based creativity, (5) machine as a creative partner, (6) creative decision making, (7) mediation of inspiration and (8) hermeneutics of usage of musical artificial intelligence software.
