Passenger List

From Passenger List sound designer Mark Henry Phillips, Light Box — a season-long investigation into what AI is doing to music and the people who love it. What happens when a machine can do the thing you thought made you, you? Composer Mark Henry Phillips logs onto an AI music generator expecting slop. Instead... he has an existential crisis. What it made wasn't slop -- it was good. Really good. This plunges him into a year-and-a-half long rabbit hole. He discovers -- with help from Sonarworks' Helmuts Bēms -- that professional musicians are secretly adopting AI like performance-enhancing drugs. Mark also digs into how these tools actually work with AI researcher Maya Ackerman. And he confronts an uncomfortable question: if a machine can replicate your creative instincts, were they ever really yours to begin with?For more info go to www.LightBoxPodcast.com.
