These days, we often come across people saying, “AI is taking everything over”, and while this is a very common phrase in present times, another outlook can also be that AI is helping in bringing our thoughts to life, as for example in music, particularly, keeping aside everything else that this technology is a part of. So, when we say AI in music, there are also several other questions that come with it, and one of them is how much human input is there in the final output, or whether the output is a result of straightforward, thoughtless AI generation without even a sign of a real, true human idea. Well, the answer to these questions pretty much lies in the song by Neural Pantheon, The Merchant’s Last Coin, from the project’s latest album, The Nameless Hour.
Let us find out what the listeners can expect from this song.
The song by Neural Pantheon, The Merchant’s Last Coin, from the project’s latest album, The Nameless Hour, is perhaps one of the finest examples of how an artist can choose to stick to originality and come up with music that is fresh and new with the sheer assistance of artificial intelligence.
Besides the fact about the song’s creation, which is precisely a beautiful mix of the artist’s pure vision, idea, lyrics, and direction, with AI joining forces in the vocals and instrumentation, the composition is outstanding in the sense that while it has a nice and intense melody, the overall vibe is quite eerie and the ambience of the song clearly showcases hardcore inspiration from the authentic gothic metal soundscape.
In addition to that, the vocals feel like a breath of fresh air over the excellent instrumentation, where the synths and string sections lay a solid foundation for it to stand tall and strong.
