On September 12, 2003, one of the most popular country music performers in the world, Johnny Cash, died. His artistic output consists of dozens of timeless hits, the most popular of which include “Folsom Prison Blues”, “I Walk the Line” or “Ring of Fire”. Many fans would certainly like to hear it in new arrangements. It turns out that now it is possible.
Artificial intelligence has applications in music. This is how the last song in the career of The Beatles is created
The rapid development of technology has made what until recently seemed unrealistic, today no longer arouse surprise. Some time ago, the world was informed that the band’s new and last song will be released using artificial intelligence. It was with its help that it was possible to isolate the voice of the deceased from the archival tape from four decades ago.
Many artists, however, do not see it as a chance, but a threat. In one of the interviews, the American singer confessed that if someone ever decides to recreate her voice after her death, she will be “grounded”, and she does not allow it. “I don’t want AI because I already have AI. Everything I have is artificial – with a laugh, adding that she would like her artistic output to be her showcase, not what will be created on its basis.
Johnny Cash’s voice was used in the song “I am Barbie Girl”. The fans are shocked
With the premiere of the film directed by Greta Gerwig, the popularity of everything related to the iconic doll is increasing. An Internet creator, the author of the YouTube channel “There I Ruined It”, decided to take advantage of this. With the help of artificial intelligence, he created a recording that used the voice of Johnny Cash for a cover of Aqua’s big hit “Barbie Girl”, which was released in 1997. “First, I record the vocals myself to be able to imitate the original singer as much as possible,” he explained the process of creating the cover. It then transmits the audio to the AI and lets it run. The effects are stunning.
The video quickly went viral, gaining over 730,000 views. views in just 6 days. In numerous comments, Internet users emphasized that they could not tell the difference between the artist’s real voice and the one created by a computer. Many also drew attention to the inserts that are deceptively similar to Cash’s statements. It’s the opening line of “Hi, I’m not Johnny Cash” and the subsequent joking line, “This is what you call music? Well, I’m damned.”
For a Cash fan, it’s blasphemous, but for a fan of the absurd, it’s perfect
Great effort has been made to make it sound as if the artist actually sang it, along with that typical mannerism of his
The things AI can do today are just crazy. The fact that we can not only reproduce the voices but also the key is amazing to me.
