Vining Management ®

🤘Streaming #Trivia, great #Metal tunes at #TheFlyingV, in #Singapore: @ExtremeBand - I sang on “Mutha” with #GaryCherone! @AllSinnersBand - Working with these great guys on upcoming album! @AlterBridge - Caught #SG gig, hung with @MarkTTremonti & @MylesKennedy; tks @JoanneCodi!

🎙️ 🇸🇬 🎮 Highlight from #AI Everything Stage, Day2 from @GITEXasia - Asia’s Largest & Most Global #Tech, #Startup & #Digital Investments Event, where I had honor of sharing stage with Michael Spranger of #SonyAI, about @Sony & future of #Gaming. #Singapore #GITEX #Sony

🤘 My favorite post-Hair #Metal Crue albums are #MotleyCrue & Generation Swine, after those classics, New Tattoo was a bit of a let down, although it maintained the grit, just lacked the punch, kick and fight.

Q: Why are New & Used #VinylRecords, more expensive, today, than ever before? A: Beyond what @FarOutMag had to say, based on my experience in #Music industry as an Executive Producer, Band Manager, almost FT return to 1 of top 3 labels, last year & as a Vinyl #Collector, myself... Let's dive in: 1. Limited #Vinyl Pressing Plants 2. Growing #Demand 3. Consumer #Appetite for Rare, Exclusive, Limited Run 4. #Artists seek ways to finally "Get Paid" for latest #Albums (most, especially new artists, get very little #ROI for their labor) 5. Corporate #Greed by #RecordLabels, #HedgeFunds & #PrivateInvestors who paid huge sums for #MusicLicenses, #RecordCatalogs, #Royalties & #Streaming Rights as long-term assets... faroutmagazine.co.uk/why-is-…

💿🎶🔊#Music Recording Industry has both transformed & diverged with #Vinyl & #Streaming as most dominant forms of consumption. Irony, here, is that 2 modes of transmission couldn’t be any more divergent from the other. 🤦🏻‍♂️I get it, I sub to #AppleMusic yet buy physical #Records.

What’s your thought on #Hollywood using #AI to create #films, #games & #music that might not otherwise be produced? Haven’t we seen this dystopian #movie before? Are entertainment #studios about to slide into a slippery slope, point of no return?

🎙️🎸🤖🎹🥁 Universal Music has signed a deal to train Artificial Intelligence to make "ultra-high fidelity vocal models" of artists signed to the label Perhaps @STYXtheBand was right when #DennisDeYoung sang of #MrRoboto or when #FreddieMercury from @QueenWillRock chanted #RadioGaGa… As a former PR scribe in the late 80s, to modern-day futurist & technologist, let’s break down this #UniversalMusic / #SoundLabs AI generated word salad of spin… “#ArtificialIntelligence, when used ethically and trained consensually, has the Promethean ability to unlock unimaginable new creative insights, diminish friction in the creative process and democratize creativity for artists, fans, and creators of all stripes. We are designing tools not to replace human artists, but to amplify human creativity."  My take - Basically, artists (from vocalist to drummer & everyone in-between) can have #AI, map their signature sound (not just from past recordings) but while alive, to have them perform every letter, word, phrase, note, key, tone in the sound register, etc… for current and / or future use. They will likely offer the artist this mapping, for free, in exchange for the right to “reproduce” in the future, their “signature sound” in retirement, sickness or death. This is not dissimilar from #Disney / #Lucasfilm offering actor #MarkHamill from Star Wars fame, the chance to be the character of Luke Skywalker, forever via AI generated voice & appearance. No recasting due to age or death is needed, if a #DeepFake of the character can be used, forever. While this might be great for current artists, in terms of their estates and for their fans, in that they will always get to see and hear from the retired or departed performer… Where does this leave new talent, when Box Office / Oscar and Billboard / Grammy winners can always be at the disposal of a director or producer, instead? Unlike a human, AI can work 24/7/365 and likely save both money (pitch perfect performance every time) and on overall shooting / recording time. Brave new world or bleak future ahead? You decide… #Entertainment #Music #Film #TV READ MORE: loudersound.com/news/univers…

📀 Absolutely loved #HSAS then and now! Have this classic on Vinyl, Cassette & CD. Would relish an expanded 40th Anniversary, Gatefold Album with Bonus & New material. If @GeffenRecords doesn’t hold the rights, I’d front the cash, work with @FrontiersMusic1, @SammyHagar & @NealSchonMusic to make it a reality. Let’s make it happen @MitchLafon!!!
