Honestly, I likely wouldn’t use AI generation if I were consistently receiving enough new music tailored exactly to my taste as a listener. Unfortunately, that’s just not happening. How often do you genuinely hear Progressive Trance featuring that characteristic, drawn-out bassline, or tracks with those shimmering, ‘twinkle’ melodies?
Hundreds of thousands of tracks are released daily, and while the music I seek might be buried among them, as a casual listener, I would have to sift through an absolute ton of mediocre content just to find one gem. This process is tedious, incredibly frustrating, and only creates a negative backdrop.
Meanwhile, the musicians I once followed have either stopped producing material at that high level or have succumbed to shallow trends. While I understand that from a marketing perspective, they are doing everything right, for me, as a simple consumer of music, their new output has devolved into low-quality, formulaic rubbish. I simply cannot connect with their current output or adapt to their new sound.
New musicians, in particular, aren’t creating the material I need. They already have different standards for a younger audience. At least, I don’t know any young progressive trance artists with the sound I’m interested in.
When AI generation wasn’t an option, I found solace simply by digging for old, unheard tracks in vintage radio shows and mixes. Now, I have the ability to create something myself even though I am not a musician. At least generation offers me a piece of the atmosphere and sound design I genuinely enjoy. Sometimes, truly interesting pieces emerge. This year, I created a track called ‘Into Tomorrow,’ and frankly, for me, it is the best track of the year. It’s rewarding to feel that my time was well spent on this. My musical demands aren’t extremely high the most important thing is that the music resonates deeply within my soul.
