Imagine Lennon McCartney and AI

Remember when we talked about AI in music? Well, guess what, the tech world has given us another surprise. And this time, it involves none other than Paul McCartney and a "new" Beatles song! Yep, you heard that right - McCartney has created a fresh Beatles track with the help of AI. And this isn't just any track, it's being hailed as the "final Beatles record".

Here's how it went down: The song features John Lennon's vocals taken from an old demo recorded just before his death. The original recording was part of a cassette from 1978, labeled "For Paul" that Lennon had created. The Beatles had previously tried to record this song back in 1995, but the poor sound quality led to the attempt being abandoned. But thanks to AI, McCartney was able to "extricate" Lennon’s voice from the old demo, cleaning it up to a level where it could be mixed as if it were freshly recorded.

It's fascinating to think that one of the most legendary musicians from arguably the biggest band ever sees the potential in AI. This process was inspired by a custom AI system used in the documentary 'Get Back' by Peter Jackson. This AI was trained to separate the vocals of the various Beatles members from background noise, enabling high-quality reproduction. The same technology allowed McCartney to "duet" with Lennon on his recent tour.

But as exciting as this is, it's not without its concerns. McCartney expressed some unease about the implications of AI in music. He's had people show him versions of Lennon singing his songs generated purely by AI, which he described as "kind of scary but exciting, because it's the future". It's a mixed bag of emotions, isn't it? On one hand, it's amazing what technology can do. On the other, it's a bit unsettling thinking about where this could lead.

Regardless, it's clear that AI is here to stay in the creative industry. From deepfake versions of music to AI tools generating tracks based on prompts, the technology is becoming mainstream. And with icons like McCartney embracing it, who knows where we'll be in a few years? The future of music is changing, and it's changing fast.

McCartney has announced that this AI-powered "final Beatles record" will be released later in 2023. So, keep your ears open for a taste of AI-enhanced nostalgia.
