RUR by Remora

Remora collaborates with AI software to re-invision the post-apocalyptic-pop landscape. Named after the 1920 play that introduced the world to robots, RUR is a collaboration of the independent musician spirit & the rising powers of artificial intelligence. Is it the ultimate cop out to be the first to bow down before our future masters, or is it buying in?

****
I started dealing with the AI art issue earlier than most. Back in 2013 there was a software developed for film makers to make incidental & bumper music which at the time seemed the natural path to validate the music I make. It wasn't amazing, but it was "good enough" & faster & easier & cheaper than something made by a human. After a few months feeling desperate I realized I could embrace it or fade out. That said AI art & music didn't feel that good or powerful until 10 years later. & here we are, with AI as a collaborator giving the ability to re-invigorate & re-explore old & abandoned ideas. It helps make music fun again instead of unrelenting hard work that is of little value to the public. I hope you find these entertaining, though I am sure they will all be dated to 2024 eventually, which is fine.
