Tom Wilson, Manager of The Hen House here, hoping you're keeping healthy and safe leading in to what looks to be a very busy year!
I'm sure some of you went to one of the many many events on this past weekend, there's so much happening in ol WA at the moment it's hard to keep up!
Scroll below to check out some interesting stuff I've rounded up for you this week,
Google AI Music Generator
Is AI generated music the next big thing? Probably not. But it is interesting!
Google have developed a new software called MusicLM, which can take a text prompt (say, 'Grunge' or 'Jazz'), and flesh it out in to a full song! The interesting part comes in the fact that what it pumps out, isn't exactly terrible. I found a really interesting quiz here where you can try and guess which works are human and which are AI - I got 8/10 so the robots definitely got me a couple of times! Check it out here and see how you go!
Meet Me In The Bathroom - The Music of NYC in the Early 2000s
For anyone who grew up around the Indie Rock boom of the early 2000s, you'd remember just how massive it was! Based on the book by the same name, the now documentary is an immersive journey through the game-changing New York music scene of the early ’00s, following bands like The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol and LCD Soundsystem telling the story of how a new generation of artists kick-started a musical rebirth for New York City that reverberated around the world. Check out the trailer for Meet Me In The Bathroom!
The ProducerGrind Podcast
This is a great podcast for any producers or beatmakers out there! Have a sus of the ProducerGrind Podcast, where you can learn the business of music production from some of the most successful producers in the world. If you are looking to sell beats online, get placements, or learn how royalties & publishing work it is all covered! Start here with this episode featuring Timbaland (did you know he sold ONE beat for $500k??)
Video Your Next Podcast!
Have you checked out the new decked out Room 8? We thought we'd make a couple of alterations and provide a great space for anyone who is looking at adding video to their podcast! You can now spruce up that video production with two boom LEDs, two colour changing LEDs for our white backdrop, as well as a low profile desk so you can get all the angles you need. Make each episode it's own vibe! Check it all out on our website here
Well friends, that's me for this week!
Stay safe and have a lovely weekend, Tom
