Do you agree that last year The Beatles released a number one single decades after the death of John Lennon, thanks to AI?

It might be that people like or dislike the idea of AI being the thing here but it is just a separate part of the process to deliver a clean Lennon vocal.

The end result is better than earlier attempts for sure but that shouldn’t disqualify or discount the full human part of the creative process.

Not exactly thanks to AI but a thanks to the developers who were able to make an AI process that can isolate the different sounds in an undivided recording (mono basically).

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

We had two previous attempts with isolation in Free as a Bird and Real Love - more or less attempting the same efforts to have a clear John vocal. The newer technique involving algorithms specifically created to learn: Oh, that is a voice and that is a piano etc took things over the top so you could really end up with just John’s voice.

In many ways double tracking via tape and backwards material and changing pitch at the tape recorder level all were and are the same kinds of things.

Lots of people seem to take the end result as an AI recording but it isn’t.

Like many songwriters back in the day John used a cassette recorder to capture his muse. In so doing his vocals and instrument and any other sounds are like one thing with no track separation.

All that being said, I don’t think you can thank AI per se here since The Beatles and others (Pink Floyd) have always used tech as a tool to help render what they want.

As an aside I hope we never get to a point where AI makes separate Beatles material from machine learning. That wouldn’t be the band itself but a rehash of what the band did into something similar but not new - not original.

But with the specific AI program used in making Now and Then, the producers were able to isolate John’s voice completely removed from everything else. This became the vocal track used to make the rest of the song.
