Plattenlabels verklagen KI-Musikgeneratoren

Einige der weltweit größten Plattenlabels haben sowohl Udio als auch Suno, zwei der beliebtesten KI-Musikgeneratoren, verklagt. Sie warfen beiden Anbietern vor, nicht nur riesige Mengen an Musik ohne Erlaubnis oder Vergütung zu kopieren, sondern auch Abschnitte berühmter Lieder direkt in der von ihnen generierten KI-Musik wiederzugeben. Ähnliche Klagen gab und gibt es schon gegen Text-zu-Bild KIs. Wie die am Ende bewertet werden, bleibt abzuwarten. Ich glaube aber kaum, dass die Industrie den Lauf der KI-Generatoren stoppen wird.

There are two separate lawsuits. The record labels, which include Universal Music Group, Capitol Records, Atlantic Records, Warner Music, and Sony Music, Industry Association of America sued Udio in New York and sued Suno in Massachusetts, where the companies are headquartered. The general contours of the lawsuits are the same, though the record labels make slightly different claims in different parts of each lawsuit. The record labels claim that neither AI music generator will say which music it has trained its models on, but said that in pre litigation communications, both companies claimed that their training on copyrighted material is “fair use.” The record labels are also suing a series of “John Does,” who they claim are the specific people who helped the companies scrape the music.

Computers and gadgets in 1994

Wer sich daran erinnern kann, ist spätestens jetzt offiziell alt. So wie ich. Oder wie Schallplatten, die damals als tot galten, wobei sich heute kein Mensch mehr für CDs interessiert und Vinyl wieder zurück ist. Mal sehen, wie das in 30 weiteren Jahren aussieht.

Remember manual typewriters? Heck, remember pens and pencils? They may be obsolete someday. We’ve gotten to the point where there is some computer or high-tech gadget that will do just about anything we need to do. It can be easy or hard. Fun or frustrating. Tonight, we begin a two-part look at the changes technology has caused in our lives. We call it High Tech 101.

„Blue Monday“ on Vintage Casio Instruments

Letztendlich geht es selten um die Qualität der benutzen Instrumente, sondern darum, was am Ende dabei rauskommt. Und siehe da: „Blue Monday“ hat auch auf alten Casio Instrumenten durchaus seinen Charme. Polaroids of the Pyramids hat das mit denen mal nachgebaut. Kleines Casio-Museum.

I thought it would be a fun challenge to do a cover version of New Order’s Blue Monday using only vintage consumer-grade Casio instruments. This is an edited and compressed adaptation. I left out some sections of the song and combined a few things to make a shortened rendition.

What you see me playing in the video are the actual instruments I used to make this multi-track recording. I layered different keyboards for most parts. I didn’t do anything to significantly change the sound of the instruments. I only used basic effects, such as equalization, reverb, delay, chorus, compression, etc.

I programmed the main drums using the built in rhythm programmer of the HT-700 keyboard and supplemented them by playing along on the DP-1 drum pads connected to the MT-500 keyboard. I used the SS-1 drum sticks to strike the pads, but you can also connect these sticks directly to the MT-500 and trigger drum sounds by striking anything or even waving the sticks in the air.

New Order sampled the Kraftwerk song “Uranium” for the choir-like sound in the original song. I also sampled ”Uranium” with the SK-1 keyboard. This is the only thing I sampled.

Here is a list of the instruments I used (in order of their first appearance):
HT-700 keyboard
MT-500 keyboard, DP-1 drum pads, SS-1 drum sticks
VL-1 mini keyboard/calculator
MT-400V keyboard
Casiotone 1000P keyboard
DG-20 digital guitar
SK-1 sampling keyboard
PT-7 mini keyboard and Casiotone M-10 keyboard
DH-200 digital horn
Casiotone 201 and MT-40 keyboards
MT-65 keyboard
KX-101 and CK-500 keyboards/cassette players
Casiotone 701 keyboard
MT-35 keyboard
MT-52 keyboard
