A.I. is not killing music. Rock is not dead! Music is changing not dying.

Discussing the death of music & the future of music, & album sales. Inspired by receiving the complete recordings of jazz bassist Adam Ben Ezra, seeing changes brought by A.I., & knowing a history of music changes now forgotten

0:00 - A.I. is not killing music because there's no sense of fulfillment for the composer | music not dying just changing fast
5:34 - Rock is not dead, as it was declared dead before Elvis debuted & declared dead every year since | how dead is rock/music when Taylor Swift breaks records | radio & Beatles were called the death of music, but we don't remember the changes in history
11:05 - Music technology changes from Edison cylinders to vinyl to 8-track to cassettes to CD to streaming | albums were a threat to concerts, but allowed consumers to discover more music | decline of CD sales partially due to lack of reissues | tape trading didn't kill industry | illegal vs legal streaming financial output is the same
26:05 - Return to singles culture with streaming from album culture | Pink Floyd "The Wall" story of not knowing album
32:06 - Complete albums of jazz bassist Adam Ben Ezra on USB (Adam's website/store: http://www.adambenezra.com/) @adambenezra reverses singles culture & is the future of music / Theo Cedar Jones & Swaybone boxset on USB hot rod (Swaybone website: http://www.swaybone.com) @swaybone11 @swaybonerocks is hope for the future of album sales
43:06 - A.I. is scary but not the end as people will still want to create music | Music changes are fighting against comfort
