The essential guide to how AI is redefining music.From ancient bone flutes to neural networks, humans have always used technology to push the boundaries of music-making. Rather than an unprecedented disruption, artificial intelligence is the latest chapter in the long, ever-evolving history of musical innovation.The AI Music Revolution cuts through the hype and alarm surrounding artificial intelligence to trace the evolution of generative music from its earliest experiments to today’s explosion of machine-generated sound. Drawing on fifteen years of experience at the forefront of AI music, Valerio Velardo explains how these systems generate sound, how they’re transforming the music industry, and what musicians, listeners, and everyone who makes a living from music stand to gain and lose.Neither a celebration nor a warning, this book offers an accessible, clear-eyed guide to understanding the shifts driven by AI. Velardo equips us with the critical tools we need to decrypt this new chapter in music’s history—and to steer its future in a direction that centers musicians.
