Human Music

What is music really about? More broadly, what is art about? Recently, the focus has been on whether music is created by humans or made by machines. This distinction is important not only for the viewer, but also for the artist. It’s not just because machines are supposed to appeal to our emotions. After all, AI operates through repetition. With AI-generated music, for example, we get an essence of what came before. We’ve already written about this here.

So, what is music really about? Or art? Sometimes, it’s about the final product. A concept. Only humans can conceive of concepts, implement them, and present them. Angine de Poitrine does exactly that. They’re carrying out a Dadaist project, which, in times of war, still carries historical significance and reflects on where our civilization has ended up (we sometimes forget that Dadaism emerged during World War I).

But be warned. Angine de Poitrine plays math rock. It’s not for everyone.

Enjoy!
