What They're Saying
Critics Review
“White is back with another timely topic, complete with his characteristic attention to rich and relevant context, and to engaging, communicative, and inclusive writing. Inclusive though it is, The AI Music Problem does not pull punches– expect to be challenged with a strong argument not only for why AI music currently falls short but (much more interestingly) why he thinks it always will.”
—Mark Gotham, King’s College London
“Chris White provides the definitive guide to one of 21st-century music’s most pressing questions. Approaching the topic from a wide variety of angles, The AI Music Problem is both clear and thorough in its exploration of what we should expect as technologies continue to advance, and, perhaps more importantly, what we shouldn’t.”
—Cory Arnold, 12tone YouTube channel
