Hier scheint sich tatsächlich eine dieser KI-Bands in meine (nicht von mir zusammengestellte) Playlist eingeschlichen zu haben. Der visuelle Stil sieht schon sehr nach Velvet Sundown aus...

Dr. Pop bespricht das KI-Projekt "Velvet Sundown" und die Single "Azizam" von Ed Sheeran. Beide Beispiele zeigen auf, welche größeren Umbrüche gerade in der Musikindustrie stattfinden.

Vice: This Band Finally Admitted That They’re AI After Weeks of Controversy

A few days later, the band’s Spotify bio changed to say, “The Velvet Sundown is a synthetic music project guided by human creative direction, and composed, voiced, and visualized with the support of artificial intelligence.”

This Band Finally Admitted That They’re AI After Weeks of Controversy

The self-styled PR rep for the AI-generated band the Velvet Sundown tried to appear believable by hurling abuse.

Further developments in the #AI spectacle that is #VelvetSundown. Has anyone actually heard what they sound like? I don't have a Spotify account and I'm reluctant to give them more plays. I'm curious about whether they pass muster as an interesting musical project or whether they're as blandly mediocre as Ed Sheeran.

The rise of #AIgenerated #music, exemplified by the #VelvetSundown, reflects the #shift in #musicconsumption towards anodyne, vibe-based listening: prioritises #convenience and #backgroundnoise over active engagement, caters to the current demand for music as a means of #escapism and #moodenhancement. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/07/velvet-sundown-ai-band-spotify/683410/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#music #AI #VelvetSundown

Un milione di stream, quattro musicisti affascinanti, successo immediato su Spotify. I Velvet Sundown sembravano la scoperta dell'anno. Peccato che non esistano: sono completamente artificiali, creati in cinque minuti con l'AI.

Il loro caso rivela per l'ennesima volta come algoritmi e nostalgia preconfezionata stiano cambiando per sempre l'industria musicale.
