AI for Humans with Richie Hawtin (Part 1 of 2) (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

happy to post the first of a two part discussion with legendary electronic music figure Richie Hawtin.

This conversation was facilitated in collaboration with Sonar +D and Ars Electronica, and video of the second part of our discussion covering proposals for an interdependent club music economy can be streamed live at 18:30 CEST this Friday as part of Sonar +D's online programming. Also worth tuning in for live performances by Arca, Laurel Halo and more. Full schedule here: https://sonarplusd.com/en/programs/barcelona-2020-special-edition/schedules

In this first part of the discussion we pick his brain on the role of machine learning in music production and cover concerns familiar to this podcast about IP and the mistakes of 20th century sampling discourse. 

For the second part we will discuss concrete ways to improve equitable payment and remuneration for producers in the club economy, Richie's own work with the lobbying group AFEM on an initiative called "Get Played, Get Paid" and reflect a little on how COVID has accelerated a sense of urgency to address problems within electronic music for good.

Thanks again for the support, we have more great guests lined up to share with you soon!
