    ✘ Sound is the honest place (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Churches are, of course, places of worship. They’re also architectural highlights with defined and specific reverb and specific smells and other sensory reflections. Sienna Bordello, lead singer of Black Bordello and composer in her own right, used to love singing in her school church. She loved it so much that she would show up an hour before school. Her choirmaster was strict and made her and her mates sing Bach and Handel. His pitch discipline was intense, to the point that his pupils jokingl

    ✘ Teach the song its name (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Imagine a song walking into a room and shaking hands and introducing herself to everyone who wants to license it. Its rights information, ownership history, and sonic characteristics all communicated clearly. What’s more, all the rightsholders are identified and each data point is traceable to its origin. Songs haven’t been able to do this for decades, they basically don’t know their own name. If you read this newsletter, you know about Deezer’s reporting on fully AI-generated track uploads and

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    ✘ The false choice: How to stop fearing AI and start listening to the body (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    In the summer of 1955 a small group of men gathered at Dartmouth to plan a workshop, and along the way they gave their field a name: artificial intelligence. The intelligence they had in mind was rule-based. Basically, write down the explicit rules of human thought and hand them to a computer, in roughly the way grammar tries to write down the rules of a language. This idea collapsed in the 1970s, starting a stretch now remembered as the AI winter, once it became clear that a language is not hel

    ✘ How does it feel? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Churches are sonic places providing space and meaning across much of the world. Art historian Niall Atkinson, for example, has examined where church bells stood in Renaissance Florence and when they were sounded in relation to each other to recompose the way that the sacred and profane transgressed each other’s boundaries. This engages questions of how people listen and create meaning from there. At age four, Tawiah found her voice in a Pentecostal church in Battersea. At the time, she didn’t co
